Hi all,

My dad has been burning DVDs from iDVD just fine, onto an external DVD drive (the iMac only has CD player/writer and dvd player.)

BUT, he's just started to get the "You do not have a supported SuperDrive" message all of a sudden - any ideas!?!

What is the make/model of the external? Did you do any program upgrades lately?

G'day and welcome to the forums.

More info please. What is he trying to burn, and any chance these are DL media? Still using DVD+R media?

Hi guys - he's actually getting the message when he loads iDvd, not when trying to burn. I'm hoping it's just a notification that's reset itself somehow, telling us that the mac doesnt have a superdrive. Which is why we bought the external in the first place!
