You might start at www.7thzone.com , www.digital-digest.com , and
www.inmatrix.com

These will all give lots of information on software-only dvd solutions.
If you have a hardware
decoder in your machine, best is to get the software that goes with
that.

The W2K player does *not* do dvd *decoding*, you will still need a
decoding engine for
that (preferably the one that goes with your card).

Subject: "External" DVD player source for TP770ED ?

Hello all-

I own a Thinkpad 770ED / 95495AU with the EVA adaptor, and
I'm looking for a DVD player program that will work with
the DVD rom drive and the decoder card. I don't have the restore
CD, so I don't have a clue on where to start, and I really don't feel
like
buying another CD from IBM. (I got this unit as an open box special and
the restore CD was missing) Is there a way out of this perdicament? I
was
just going to install win2K and use the DVD player with that, but I
really
don't want to mess up my current configuration. The unit is currently
dual
booting
98SE and Windows NT 4.0. If I could get a DVD player app that worked
in
either
one of these, that would be great.

Thanks in advance...

-Mike
