If by DVD support you mean reading DVD disks .. yes there is .. I have a DVS-600H DVD-ROM from DVS korea (www.dvs.co.kr). I can use it for CD's ... music CD's ... and DVD's 4.0-CURRENT has all the necessary ioctl's to read DVD-ROM disks and yes, I was able to play a DVD movie with a software DVD program on FreeBSD, have a look at www.opendvd.org ... they have a "how to" for FreeBSD for playing DVD movies (if you have the ever so popular CSS-auth program - a long legal discussion NOT to follow :) ) Hope this helps :) Reinier > Hello, > > I know there is currently no DVD support in FreeBSD.
