This is getting uglier and uglier. Okay, what about this then? Is it
possible to get a video card with a TV input that will work with Linux,
then get a stand-alone DVD player and plug it into the Linux box's video
card? Control of the DVD player would all be via the player's front
panel/remote control; i.e. there'd be no software control of the player.
Still, this might be a better answer anyway since it means the player
could be moved from the computer to a TV to a projector back to the
Linux box. Also we'd be able to plug a VCR or cable signal into the
Linux box this way. Any comments?
