so, on the 1.5GHz G4/ 8X superdrive 12 powerbook, it is better for
power savings to play DVD's once ripped to the HD or to play them

I'm assuming ripped, but don't know how fast DVD disks actuall spin
etc.
Everything I've ever read(*) would indicate that ripping them would
be better. Spinning the HD is almost always required... spinning the
HD and the DVD drive is a lot of extra overhead, even if you didn't
ever pause the movie once it was started.
