(More customer reviews)I recently bought one of the LaCie DVD burners with Lightscribe, in order to burn DVDs that I had created using iDVD on my Macintosh. However, every time I tried burning a disc I would get an error message. I spoke to LaCie's customer service who said "We don't support iDVD, only Toast. Call Apple." I was not very pleased with this response. Since LaCie markets heavily to Mac users, and iDVD is the main program for creating DVDs on the Mac, I was surprised at this lack of support. I called Apple, who basically said that it sounded like a problem with the DVD burner. Since I had tried this on two different computers, I agreed. I was ready to return the unit when I did some further Internet searching. Turns out that there is a simple solution for using iDVD: in iDVD, after you're done assembling the DVD, go to "Save as disc image" (under File menu). This creates a disk image on your desktop (can take a few hours). When it's done, open the disk image, make sure it works (using DVD player), then use Toast to copy the disk image to a DVD. Works well.
I'm surprised that the Tech support at LaCie didn't know enough about their burners to tell me this!
