Would i be able to use and view DVDs on my A1200?

I'd recommend you get one of them cheapo stand-alone dvd players. They can be found VERY cheap nowadays. I got my new one for 47EUR. The IDE DVD-ROM unit in my old standalone died and I thought about replacing that, but getting a new standalone DVD-player was actually more cost-effective (well 10EUR more).

And indeed you probably lack the CPU power to decode DVD's nicely .

Aaaaaw, my 1meg/sec A1200 IDE can't handle DVD's? Darn ;-).
