the actual current goal is to use freeBSD to burn a DVD of the show 24 to watch on my new liteon dvd player. i have had sporatic success on using files from my puters to view on the thing. it is supposed to be able to do a lot of different things. it can view jpegs. i haven't even burned a dvd data disk on freeBSD yet. some of the disks i have burned on an XP puter (that i do not have access to right now) using a sonic burner application have werked, and some haven't.
