Well, it would have to be software only, unless if you had an mpeg card.
Afaik,.... only some of the Hollywood mpeg cards have (very limited)
linux support. Last time I checked, you could only get the tv-out
working but not overlay mode so youd have to have either an additional
tv or a tv-tuner card as well.
Livid, the only real dvd playing software for linux is now actually
usable... a friend of mine is using it on his celeron 333@417MHz.
However, it does jerk every once in a while and the audio skips ahead
etc. IMO, a dvd player that is "watchable" but not seamless is
worthless. I am waiting till Livid gets better or a commercial player is
released and then ill buy a DVD drive.
