DVD Studio Pro, Apple DVD Player: Built-In DVD Drives Required for DVD-Video Preview and Playback

DVD Studio Pro 1.x requires an Apple-shipped internal DVD-ROM or DVD-R drive in order to use the Preview mode, or to test built projects using the Apple DVD Player application. These features will not work with Macintosh computers containing built-in CD-RW drives.

DVD Studio Pro 2 can Preview projects without a DVD drive. DVD Studio Pro final output is limited to the following:

• DVD-R using Apple DVD-R SuperDrive or Pioneer DVR-S201 recorder
• DLT tape (required for DVD-9 projects)
• Disk Image

The Apple DVD Player application requires an internal Apple DVD drive, regardless of whether you have DVD Studio Pro installed.
