Hi, You don't need a ZV port for the margi dvd-to-go as you can send the video/audio out via the dongle. That does work for windows as well. I don't know if the 50/70ct is fast enough to feed the dvd-stream-hungry HW decoder. The ZV works great btw with good sound and a *very* sharp picture on the libretto :-) What options are you missing in the margi player? Note that the options might be limited because the DVD HW decoder chip (L64020) doesn't maybe handle all the options you would like to have.
