how do you play dvd's on a 1200? what do you need, and is it only limited to ppc? what setup is optimal?

There is just not enough cpu power in even the fastest powerpc accelerator currently available. It might be possible if the shark is ever released or if someone write drivers for a hardware mpeg2 decoder.

If somehow you had a DEDICATED HARDWARE DECODER
on the A1200 then sure it would work. but with the limited color system. it would look like crap.

Not if you use a gfx card.
