How to buy an External DVD Burner for Macs (5 Steps)

Determine the speed you want. External DVD burners have different capabilities when it comes to the speed at which they burn DVDs. While the quickest burner sounds like the best option, you could be sacrificing other options.
Check your home DVD player to determine which types of DVDs it plays. Some home DVD players don't play either DVD-R or DVD+R disks. Purchase an external Mac DVD burner that will burn disks compatible with the players you plan to use them in.
Buy a Mac external DVD burner that can also play DVDs, if you have an older model Mac that does not support playing DVDs. A Pioneer mechanism in many newer Mac external DVD burners allow you to play DVDs produced by movie companies. Certain DVD burners like CD CyClone's DVD Revo don't support this feature.
Purchase an external DVD burner like the ClubMac FireWire for your Mac laptop computer that uses your laptop battery as a power supply for ultra portability. One downside of Mac units that don't use external power supplies is they tend to have loud cooling fans.
Pick a design that fits your needs. Mac external DVD burner cases come in styles that are barely larger than the drive itself to elaborate and colorful designs. The QPS Que Fire DVDBurner Pro has a small design for portability. Other drives are larger for desktop Mac computers.
