Help Installing OS X Tiger on Power Mac G4

Drop the 50 bucks and get yourself an DVD+-RW (DL) upgrade, like the pioneer DVR-109

I agree on that. The DVR-109 is awesome with OS X. No problems whatsoever.

i do have PowerMac G5 can i use that install Tiger OS X on my G4?

You should be able to.
Boot your G4 in target mode and connect it via firewire to your G5. Put the DVD in your G5 and boot into the Tiger installer. Install Tiger, but Make sure you select the G4's hard drive or you will loose your data on the G5 When finished, you should be able to boot the G4 into tiger.
