--- You wrote: I discovered there isn't a software DVD decoder that will work on the beige G3 (right?). --- end of quote --- Not right, thankfully. Apple's DVD Player works fine on a Beige if you have an adequate video card. In os 9 you need a hacked version that disregards the fact that you are runninng it on a Beige. In X the standard DVD player works fine, but does not automatically load on a beige. You dig it out of the disk and install it manually.
At least 300 mhz processor speed in needed. I have 466 and software dvd playing works fine in both os. By the way, with DVD players costing $50 or less these days, it seems unnecessary to play them on computers, especially if an expensive upgrade would be necessary. I hardly ever check the dvds I burn on my computer. They go right to the TV. Rich -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
