idvd will not use external drive
i have a broken dvd superdrive in my computer so i bought an external drive and idvd won't find it... itunes does... how can i change where idvd looks for my drive ??
imac, Mac OS X (10.4.11)
If you are using an early version of iDVD (you are in the iDVD 4 and earlier forum) you can't use a non-Apple 'Superdrive' from iDVD.
You must create a disk image file (it should be an option under FILE in iDVD) and then use Apple's Disk Utility to burn the disk image to writable media.
Correction: I just 'fired up iDVD 4' and it doesn't offer the option to create a disk image file. Sorry.
You will need to update to a later version. Try ebay. Or buy Roxio's Toast Titanium to create simple DVDs.
