VLC or perhaps Mplayer under OS X (not sure of if MP do DVDplaying), but I think you'll find that you need at least a G4 upgrade card to be able to play DVDs without hardware decoding. Even with that you prboably need to set the software to drop frames. As a G4 upgrade is about the same as a DVD decoder card I'd get one. Especially as the DVD decoder card doesn't work with OS X. I, however, sold my WS II and bought PB G4/400 instead. For that and a G4/400 Tower and some pocket change I got a Powerbook G4/400, some RAM, 10 GB more HD, 1152 x 768 pixels, Firewire and USB and DVDplayer. I also like the keyboard and the weight better. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
