The Boxee box will display the DVD menus and stuff. That's part of the appeal since it is like having access to the DVD without the physical DVD. Much like you can mount an ISO with Daemon Tools so it looks like a drive and then play the mounted image through your DVD player software of choice on your PC. I guess this wouldn't work with the Revue architecture if you are relying on a server much like the squeezebox devices. The Review would have to actually mount the ISO image for this to work. -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 4 Booms, 1 Duet, 1 Receiver, 1 Touch, iPeng on iPod Touch.
