If you're talking about a consumer DVD player, one workaround method would be to use something along the lines of home automation software to control an IR emitter that talks to your DVD player. I recall seeing one or two home automation apps written in Hypercard (mostly for X10 modules) but with a little research and digging, you might be able to find the combination of software and hardware you need. On the other hand, the fact that many desktop computer systems have DVD playback capability might make the above setup irrelevant. If you want to control an *internal* computer-based DVD player, Apple's DVD player is controllable via AppleScript, and I would expect players on Windows to have some type of access via MCI. You can see below for reference to Windows videodisc control; if available, DVD control is probably similar, if not identical. http://www.tactilemedia.com/info/MCI_Control_Info.html#videodisc [Big document -- wait for it to load completely] Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, Multimedia & Design ----- E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] W: http://www.tactilemedia.com _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
