Would i be able to use and view DVDs on my A1200?
« on: November 01, 2003, 03:16:38 PM »
Hello!

I was innocently looking inside my local entertainment store and decided to look for some videos. Little knowing what i was about to let myself in for, i started searching. Then, suddenly, tragedy struck. I was ambushed by a legion of DVD stacks, full of DVDs, no videos whatsoever. In desperation i tried harder to look for these videos, but no luck. I then ended up lost in the DVD section, and feared i'd never leave the place alive! But, thankfully, help was at hand, the assistant showed me where the exit was and, with no hesitation, i quickly stormed out of the store (gasping for breath in the process).

In order to stop this fiasco from happening again i think the time has come for me to get a DVD player. I would just like to know would to be possible for DVD playback on Amiga (and the things i would need) and if it would be possible on my one, if not then what else would i need.

Regards,
A1200D / AGA / B1260 / 64MB RAM / KS 3.1 / AOS 3.9 / 4GB HD

I was actually thinking about either trying to get a standalone DVD player, or one of those DVD/CD RW Drives combos that you can get! I don't care about money, money is no object to me. I just wan't to know if to would be possible and the performance on my current Amiga, and if not, then whjat would i need to do. Remember, it is only for DVD playback, nothing else! :-)

I did have a PS2, and as many people know, that had DVD playback, but because the PS2 was ####e and all that, i ditched it!
