Um, I better get my "hands" on a cable modem first. Here in the sticks, i'm stuck with a 56k connect. Should only take me 4-5 days to d/l beta 2. I'm stuck with beta 2416 for the moment. Never tried to play a DVD in WMP though.....

what pisses me off is the fact that i know that WMP will play dvd's without a decoder card because i was frickin watching dvd's without one installed.

Down8 - dude, i really don't know man, i was playing around with it, i was ripping a dvd and wondered if WMP would play a ripped vob file, then i was like, oh what the hell and started playing around with it, it played Hackers and many other fine, now it asks for a dvd decoder.
