I know this has been handled a bit in other threads, but I have not found the specific answer to my question so here goes:
can any "generic" DVD-R be put in a firewire case and hooked up to a mac, or does it somehow have to be "mac specific". I know there is a hack for iMovie- but other than that, will the mac read and write from it?
I am re-approaching the mac mini with a different strategy- I am considering buying the cheapest model and upgrading the HD and maxing the ram as opposed to buying the tricked out version from Apple.
Part of this strategy would involve dropping my DVD-R into an external firewire case (I have a Optorite DD0203)
