OSX burning software (iTunes, Finder, and Disk Utility) is always installed. DVD Player may not be installed if there is no internal drive that can read DVDs. VLC should be able to play DVDs from external drives, but your computer may be too slow. <http://www.videolan.org>

Tiger and Leopard will handle most burners, but 10.3.9 will need PatchBurn for non-Apple drives. <http://www.patchburn.de>
