I'd have to check, but I think the CD-ROM is full-sized. Wonder what it
takes system-wise to run that DVD? I've got a 601 PPC upgrade on a 575 LB
and with a res-hack I can run up to 8.6 I think (but it would be sloooow).
Wonder if that's enough? Though I heard somewhere that the hardware is not
capable of processing that much video (at least in any kind of smooth way).
Perhaps this is why I never did it. :-)


It won't work. It will not work in any way, not even a little bit, I think. I have a 6400 with 180 mhz 603ev, and I tried to play some small movies on it - about 320x200 or maybe 400x300, encoded as mpeg/divx/quicktime, don't know exactly. Under Mac OS 8.6 I could only hear sound, neither QuickTime nor Windows Media Player would display a single video frame. On Linux video playback was very slow so that the sound and video would lose synchronisation, when using a framedrop option it would not display anything anymore, just like under Mac OS.
Now these movies play fine on my Pentium 350, but that computer still can't play a DVD smoothly. So I think you would need at least a 233 mhz g3 or a 350 mhz 604 for good playback.


Daan.
