DVD Players (Re: PLUG is live!)

[Ken Bowley]

Don't let that DVD drive go unused!  Check out the Livid project over at
www.linuxvideo.org.  The recent CVS snapshots have made great strides in
turning Linux machines into DVD players!  My test machine at work (Celeron
400) can actually play DVD's in a watchable format, and a message on the
Livid mailing list reported at a PIII 600 with 128MB of ram played the DVD
as well under Linux as it did using WinDVD under that legacy OS. :)
