PCMCIA MPEG-2 decoder card (MCE have it and there used to be a WS kit). 

Notionally, a SCSI DVD player or DVD-R/RW might work, but they're 
horribly expensive. And I don't know what hardware SCSI drives look for. 
Cheaqper in the end to simply get a DVD iBook.

I'd imagine a PCMCIA decoder card of some sort, as the processor wouldn't be
able to handle the decoding well on it's own.
