[QUOTE="Kokopelli, post: 95616"] Daisy chaining the drive is fine, though I would invest in a FW hub instead. You do not need to use PatchBurn to make the Lacie D2 drive compatible with OS X apps though. Lacie has native firmware/drivers available on their website so you can use the external burner with the various Apple applications. I never installed Toast since there was never a need for it. I like using Mac The Ripper followed by DVD2OneX creating a disk image, then burn that image using Disk Utility. It does not take long (2 hours and change) so there is no need to do it overnight. If you are encoding to AVI though that will take a while. EDIT: Not sure how long encoding home movies takes though. All I have of home video is a few 10-15 second clips plus some stuff I transferred over using EyeTV. [/QUOTE]
