LaCie DVD burner total waste of money

I recently purchased a LaCie D2 DVD burner so I wouldn't wear out the internal DVD burner in my Dual G5, but it has been a total waste of time and money.

DVD Studio Pro can neither see nor burn to this drive.

Pathetic!!!!

As a follow up to the unrecognized external burner issue, I'm noticing that on some days DVDSP opens up the carriage of the external drive when I hit burn, and on others it opens up the carriage of the internal drive.

It seems to be a crap shoot as to whether it'll pick the external Lacie burner to write to, or the internal.

I can't figure out why it doesn't do one or the other every time.

Anybody know a way to disable the internal DVD drive within DVDSP so it can't see it at all.
