What if I have a CSS decryption program on my system -- will QuickTime play these then? For that matter, Macs come with a DVD playback program -- so why doesn't QuickTime actually do it? (Major annoyance: DVD sharing does not actually permit DVD's to be played by DVD Player :-). _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
