the DVD RW drive in my G5 tower has died... not under warranty so not willing to pay apple tech repair prices.

reads and writes CD's fine, will burn DVD-R's and DVD-RW's fine but will not read data backup disks I made on DVD-R disks nor will it read commercially available video DVD's

any one had any joy using a non OEM, 3rd party internally on a late model mac without needing to use Toast (so using OSX's onw burning tools)

yep I know xlr8 your mac's database search shows a large number of drives such as the LITE-ON LH-20A1H, Pioneer DVR-112DBK, LG GSA-H12L etc etc http://forums.xlr8yourmac.com/drivedb/search.drivedb.lasso with DVD+R/RW +DVD -R/RW, G5 tower, 10.4

just wanting some local experience
