DUP-DVD is one of the utilties I've seen, but says an ASPI driver is required. (What does this mean and how does it work.) I have a DVD drive and CD burner with Windows Me. All comments welcome. Thanks Mike.	Guest (0)

This will be able to play in *most* regular stand alone DVD players. The other option would be to rip the DVD onto your harddrive and encode it into a DivX ;-). This will only be useful for using on a computer unless they bring out DivX ;-) capable DVD players at some stage. Encoding the DVD rip will take some computing power. JM	Guest (0)
