BUT: movie DVDs use their own format (UDF) that nothing seems to support yet--except Windows. They also say "don't even think about Divx"--so for now, you will probably be better off with getting a dedicated DVD player box, or finding a WIndows machine to play the movies on. -- Lee C. -- Manassas, VA, USA (WakkyMouse on DALnet #watertower) A!
