The following link will take you to Other World Computing - which specializes in hardware that works with Mac's.

Just a warning that even with my Quicksilver PowerMac G4 running at 933MHZ - encoding a 2 Hour DVD prior to being able to burn the disk takes about 8 hours - with the processor maxed out at 100% utilization. This is not to say that you can't use your iMac to burn DVD's - just want you to know that patience will be required.

Cheers,
Rob
