DVD rewriters?

[dave79]

Can anyone recommend a relatively decent, fairly cheap internal dual layer DVD rewriter for a G4 tower (mirrored doors) It's going to be used for backing up DVD's and dabbling in commercial DVD creation. Any tips greatly appreciated.

Looks like it will work and it even looks like apple used similar drives in some G4 imacs

Personally, I'd wait on the DL burners. First of all, they are only in the +R format at this point; the -R DL won't be on the market of a couple more months. Secondly, the media is out of sight at $10 a pop. Lastly, there's some talk that DL won't take off, because Blu-ray and HD DVD are coming on fast. If that happens, the DL media probably will not decline in price all that much.
