Greetings, I don't know whether there is a topic for the next meeting and it just hasn't made it onto the web page or not, but I figured I'd offer a suggestion to the group. Is anyone interested on seeing a presentation on the various DVD players that are available for Linux along with their setup. hardware support, and configuration, etc? I'm headed to the west coast next week for a 7-day Alaskan cruise, and I really need something to do for the 6-hour plane ride each way other than watching Top Gun. I'd be happy to do so, but I figured I'd ask the group instead of just mailing Andy as "installing and running a couple of apps in Linux" might be on the light side for a presentation. If people are interested and there's already something for this month, just let me know and I'll write something up. Just my two cents, let me know if there's any interest (this hasn't already been done, right?). Brian J. Conway dogbert@clue4all.net Geek for hire: http://clue4all.net/resume Power Mac G4 Cube. Some of us are getting laid tonight. (http://www.pvponline.com/archive.php3?archive=20010509)
HI all, There is currently no scheduled speaker or topic for the August WLUG meeting. If you would like to do this talk, I think it would be great. I'm curious as to what you would like to cover, or what others might like to see covered. Let me seed the conversation bu suggesting the following possibilities: 1) Supported DVD players 2) What software, kernel, apps, etc needed to use DVD 3) DVD-ROM - just like a CDROM, but bigger - anything special or funny here? 4) DVD-RAM - now there's an idea 5) Video DVD - can I watch The Matrix while coding? :-) These are just thoughts and suggestions....are there others?

That sounds good, I'll plan on it then. Any suggestions should get to me by this Sunday and I'll try my best to include them.
1) Supported DVD players
Check.
2) What software, kernel, apps, etc needed to use DVD
Check.
3) DVD-ROM - just like a CDROM, but bigger - anything special or funny here?
Check.
4) DVD-RAM - now there's an idea
Never touched them, but I'll do some research on the basics.
5) Video DVD - can I watch The Matrix while coding? :-)
Check. (Definitely, this is intended to be the bulk of the presentation, comparing a few players and their features, etc.)
These are just thoughts and suggestions....are there others?
I'd love to hear them. Thanks all. -b
