I would mostly use the Superdrive for burning movies on iMovie. Is it possible to just create an image and then burn it on my PC? If I could, that would save me a lot of money that could be spent on RAM instead. 
Got a tip for us?

I have a DVD burner on my PC... is a Superdrive necessary?

I agree, Probably worth getting a superdrive if not have a look at the LaCie external drives they are very nice.

Yes, you can definitely create images on the Mac and burn them on a PC after transfer. I have done this since my iBook G4 has a combo drive, but it's much cleaner/faster to have the superdrive or just use an external DVD burner now that iLife '06 isn't as picky as it once was...SuperSnake2012 said:I would mostly use the Superdrive for burning movies on iMovie.

I don't think I'd be doing it all the time... heck, I don't even burn many DVDs on my PC. Decisions, decisions.

You might not now.. but as HDs get larger and larger, the bandwidth of broadband gets larger and larger, well.. files get larger and larger.

Agreed. I don't think I need more than 1 burner in your house. But I have a question: How does one create an image on Mac, then burn on PC? What software to use on the Mac and PC respectively?
