External DVD burner that works with Mavericks?

I see a lot of options in the $25 to $50 range from the likes of Samsung, Buffalo, LG, etc..
But I need one that is compatible with my late-2012 Mini running Mavericks.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Any external disc drive will work. I would recommend you to get one that works over USB or FireWire, so you won't have any compatibility issue

Free replacement for popcorn 4 (dvd compression/burning) that works with Mavericks?

I make frequent backups of dvds that I own because my children mangle them. I was using Popcorn 4, which was just OK, but now it doesn't seem to work at all with Mavericks, and it has been replaced by Toast (on the Roxio website), which is much more expensive, and doesn't look that much better. I use Rip-it to create the Video_TS files on my hard drive, but I need something to transfer those files to a playable DVD.
I've tried Burn, Aimersoft Video Converter Ultimate, but so far, no luck.
Disclaimer: I have purchased these DVDs, and I'm just making back-up copies, not selling them on my doorstep.
I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro running OSX Mavericks 10.9

Tony T1: I installed it, but I am getting a message that says I cannot open it because it is from an unidentified developer. Also, it looks like they stopped updating Disco in 2011. But thank you for the suggestion.
Just right-click and then select [Open]
(you only need to do this once, then you can just click the App to open)
Developement stopped as DVD use is declining
(Apple is no longer developing iDVD).
The positive is that Disco is now free.

La Cie external DVD burner not working with OSX 10.5.2

Every time I try to burn a DVD with my external drive I get an error message sayng that the connection is not stable. I have double checked all my connections and everything is fine yet I cannot burn DVDs or CDs. Any ideas????

I have had the burner for about 2 years and was working fine. Worked even after I upgraded to OSX 10.5. Tried to use it the other day, and this problem occurred. Not sure if it happened after the update to 10.5.2.

External DVD drive not working with Lombard G3 333

I have an external DVD drive that worked when I had 10.4, but had to reformat HD and now only have 10.3.9, and now the DVD drive does not work with DVDs, it will work with CDs and CDR media, but not with DVD media. My Lombard did not come with DVD originally and I am using a PC Card (Macintosh PowerBook DVD-Video PC Card For PowerBook G3 Series) and it worked before with 10.4, but not with 10.3, any ideas? Also have tried with 9.x, no go either. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, would it be difficult to add a DVD logic board to my Lombard?

xamdu,
I am reading and replying to this post after first replying to your other post, so a few of my previous comments are redundant.
Regarding the FireWire(?) USB 2.0(?) DVD drive: It is possible Tiger supported your DVD drive but Panther does not. I would give PatchBurn for Panther a try:

If the above is unsuccessful, take a look at this workaround:

You can swap logic boards but it does require a lot of disassembly.
Since no version of OSX supports Apple DVD Player, I am assuming you have a third-party player like VLC installed to watch movies. If this is the case, the DVD Decoder PC card is not necessary. If booted to 9.x, you of course will need the decoder PC card but I did not know 9.x's Apple DVD Player supported external drives.

I have an LG GE24LU20 and works great with either my iMac or Mac Mini.

Heck' I can even open and close the tray from my menu bar icon,
plus it is way faster and less finicky than the superdrives.

But this is not a plugin, it's basically Adobe's Photoshop lite - a standalone program.
The beauty of Intellihance was that is combined a few good native Photoshop adjustments into one menu which meant that you could perform a series of various adjustments and preview them all at once.
Don't want to leave PS to do this if I don't have to.

This new Superdrive also supports DVD-Audio so you can load more music into it than a CD.

Help, I have an imac 11.1 with an optical dvd burner. It has died. What external dvd burner willl work? I tried the apple superdrive but it was not recognized.

I have an imac 11.1 running 10.6.8. The internal optical drive has stopped working. I ordered an apple superdrive and it did not reconize it. What external drive can I hook up?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The Apple USB SuperDrive is only compatible with Macs without built-in SuperDrive (Mac mini, MacBook Air, the Late 2012 iMac and the MacBook Pro with Retina display). However, you can make it to work on your Mac > http://www.tuaw.com/2012/04/02/use-the-macbook-air-superdrive-with-any-almost-ma c/

External audio controllers that work with FCP

Is FCP cabable of working with external audio control interfaces such as the kind that work with Logic?
If so, any recommendations on which ones work well?
Cheers,
Jesse.

take a look at the Mackie MCU (control surface only) or the Tascam FW1082 (control surface/mixer hybrid)
... or any product that support the Mackie Control protocol or Logic Control should work.
smaller, interesting interfaces at the moment include
the FireOne http://www.tascam.com/details;8,14,104.html
and the AlphaTrack http://www.frontierdesign.com/Products/AlphaTrack
larger more extensible setups would include
the Tascam FW1884 http://www.tascam.com/catalogue;47,14.html
with additional FE-8 units for up to 128 tracks http://www.tascam.com/products/fe-8.html

External speakers don't work with Maverick

My external speakers will not work in Maverick....internal speakers ok. Tried rebooting, unplugging external speakers from back of computer, etc.......going to "sound" in System Preferences, only "internal speakers" is listed. Had external sound PRIOR to Maverick.....

Boy, do I feel like an idiot !!! I had the speakers plugged into the input RIGHT NEXT TO the headphone port !! I could have sworn that's where I unplugged them when I did some "housekeeping" on my desk ! I even labeled that port "speakers"............I must say though that the"output" in "sound" in sys. pref. NOW SHOWS UP AS HEADPHONES !! So SORRY for taking up your time, but you got my external speakers working, and for that I am VERY grateful !! I guess in all your experiences you've seen it all, but................THANKS AGAIN !!!!

External DVD Drive not working with osx 10.8.5

Hi, I'm having issues with my MacBook Pro 15" 9,1 working with an external DVD drive. I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have been troubleshooting this issue for a few weeks. The optical drive itself is the original drive that came with the computer, but I have put it in an external enclosure to free up space inside the body of the MacBook Pro. The drive seems to function fine with CDs (playing and ripping - haven't tried burning yet) but is extremely inconsistent/barely functional with DVD playback. Only one DVD in my collection properly works - others bring up error messages in multiple programs (VLC, Wondershare, the native DVD application, etc.) and another continuously loops back to the main menu each time "Play Feature" is selected. These are a variety of DVDs that range from obscure to commercial and old to new (the oldest and most obscure is the only one that works). After deciding that it is not the programs, I replaced the enclosure. I still had the same exact issues. I reset PRAM - no solution there. I created a new user on my computer, installed the same media players and had the same luck. I then used the same external drive on my old MacBook Pro 15" (5,4 running OSX 10.6.8) to see if it would work there. It worked perfectly (with the native DVD application). What is going on here and how can I get my new computer to recognize the external DVDs reliably and consistently?

older superdrives were Hitachi mfg, new ones are Panasonic. Since yours is new and panasonic, indications are it wont work thru the enclosure on your NEW macbook, rather as you state on your older Mac.
until you said it worked fine on the old machine, the logical conclusion is a dirty lens on the laser since it reads CDs fine but most DVD not, since the track is much smaller.
Considering a new superdrive is only $48 on ebay ,or $78 for a new superdrive, your frustration might be too much, and just grab a new superdrive.
Your detailed information indicates a firmware incompatibility of the panasonic superdrive thru an enclosure
This is the new superdrive, made by panasonic as you have in your enclosure:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/221280580133?lpid=82
of course thats a lot of trouble buying that AND an enclosure, easier still is just getting a Mac superdrive inside its working enclosure designed for use as such:

Need External DVD Player that Works on Mac

My G4 fell (ouch) and the right corner bent and the DVD player doesn't work anymore. At Best Buy I bought a LG DVD player and burner, but my G4 wouldn't recognize it. Then I bought a Pioneer DVD player and burner, but it wouldn't recognize that either (this one has a place to plug in a cord to power it from the wall, but it didn't help).
Does anyone know of an external DVD player and burner that will work with a Mac G4? They seem to all be well under $100, a lot cheaper than having a Mac repair person open up my G4 and try to fix the internal player and also replace the shell.
BTW, I guess I could get by without a burner, so if you know of just a player that would work with my G4, I would consider it. Also the LG player says on the box it works with Mac, but then I noticed it needs OS X 10.5 . I suppose it costs over $100 to upgrade, so I don't think it's worth it.

All PowerBooks starting the G3 "Pismo" dating to Feb 2000 have Firewire Ports. On the 17" G4, the FireWire 400 port is the only labeled "2" in this image of the right edge of the computer:
