The DVD drives are supported as regular CD-ROMs. There is no support
planned for the DVD portion in the near future from what I can see.
There _are_ some people working on creating drivers for the MPEG cards
and for viewing movies from the drives, but it is going to be a long,
hard road trying to get them up and running.
For the most part, the problem is that DVD manufacturer's will not
release programming information without a $15,000 payment and a
signature on a Non-Disclosure Agreement.
