I guess it really depends on the disc brand. I watch DVDs on my
computer mostly, so I don't have that problem. I suppose a video card
like an ATI all-in-wonder model with component output will allow you to
use your computer as a dvd player (but I'm not sure about how well the
unix drivers work).

Pioneer started the development of the DVD before Philips and Sony joined
in. It was a consortium which agreed the final standard.

If you're getting pot-marks on your DVDs, you're smoking way too much
pot.

Oh, yeah? Well SONY invented Beta. Oops, forget about that.

Well, Phillips invented Compact Discs! And also Milk of Magnesia!

Now, on to the pharmaceutical thread !

Enjoy the excursion. You don't have to be on the vehicle (BMW or otherwise,
with or without lights), though...
