...in more detail what you are talking about regarding compatibility.
I got a new G4 without superdrive and the devideon works fine. Anyway, it's not Apple's firmware that decides if the software works or not, but Formac firmware recognition of the FireWire bridge in the drive.
Fantastic....worthless in two months. Formac's commitment to customers that have already purchased their products makes Sony look like Linnux.
Four messages above, and four messages that offer no useful information. A perfect score! Are MacNN readers illiterate, drunk or what? Over at Slashdot.org, such people are called 'anonymous cowards'. Maybe I'll switch to Linux just to be in intelligent company.
I have an investment in Mac technology and in Formac. If you have something informative to say about this topic, please do. I'm hoping that the Devideon software will become a practical alternative to iDVD.
thanks
