Is it possible to get a video card with a TV input that will work with Linux, then get a stand-alone DVD player and plug it into the Linux box's video card? Control of the DVD player would all be via the player's front panel/remote control; i.e. there'd be no software control of the player. Still, this might be a better answer anyway since it means the player could be moved from the computer to a TV to a projector back to the Linux box. Also we'd be able to plug a VCR or cable signal into the Linux box this way. Any comments?
