Other than iDVD, which I know you can't use, can DVD software such as DVD Studio Pro be used on the iBook with a combo drive?
 
What software do you want to know? To view DVDs or to create them? If creating, then I'm assuming you want something external. Then Toast 6 does the job I heard
 
AFAIK ibooks don't have the option for superdrive, not even in store custom options.

you could have it added later, but i think powerbook sounds more what you want.
 
Do you actually need to have a superdrive built into or hooked up to the computer to run DVD Studio Pro? I know you can't with iDVD, what about the other?
 
Actually you can...

AFAIK, iDVD will run but you'll be able only to do a project, I guess you can save it, but it won't burn even with an external DVD writer... just like an internal issue and maybe you can transfer it to a mac with superdrive... maybe someone here has done it ... wait and see...

You can run DVD Studio Pro on a G3 without a Superdrive.
