Hi
Hmm, which makes me wonder . . . would a FW DVD drive be able to play
DVDs under X on a Wallstreet or Lombard _without_ using a cardbus
decoder
card? Hmmm . . . must. . . try . . . it . . . out . . .
Sure, but not with Apple DVD player. You must use VLC (videolan
client-free).
Regards,
yeh i would have to say so to, another think to think about is can the
processor able to handle the graphics of the dvd.

You guys could always try Video CD. Playable on any CD ROM drive so long as
you have enough horsepower for the CPU and the Video subsystem to decode the
MPEG-1 track. I play my video CDs very casually on Macs of 200 MHz or so. Below
that speed, it's very much hit or miss.

My 1400 has a 333 G3 and I thought if the G3 could do the decoding it
_might_ be possible, but no joy. I stuffed a DVD reader into a 1400
Expansion Bay
Wait a second.
So HOW can I get my 3400c to play DVDs?

I think I can safely say that no, the PB 1400 has no DVD capabilities- much to my own
dismay. DVD-roms require recognition boards that allow you to use them,a nd I don't
think that the PB 1400 can be upgraded to accomodate one feasibly.
