the Formac external 4X DVD - R/RW has really good reviews, and is only $200 (USD)

I don't have this model, but LaCie has been good to me.

Just a side note, external burners don't work with iDVD.

I have been able to create DVDs using Toast 6.

You can also use external burners with DVD studio pro, a little pricey for home movies though

I am looking at getting DVD Studio Pro, but I think I need a faster processor first.

Then it would be a dog on my 500Mhz Ti.
