: Yup, like Danalee, I too am ready for the big day!!

: However, after due consultations with 'those in the know' - and my 'financial advisor'! I have gone with the Computer DVD kit and - it is truly great!!! For �120 (roughly $180 but will likely be MUCH cheaper in America) I got the DVD ROM and Decoder card and I have to say, the quality is fantastic!! And it is multi-regional, which is very useful for me. And further down the track, for a few pounds more, I will be able to get a 'Video Capture Card' which will allow me to copy favourite video's onto disc.

: So - here is one very happy bunny!! Roll on LOTM Day!! (Which is also Keith's birthday. I wonder if I could convince him that the DVD kit is my birthday present to him?!! Nah - he'd only want to install it in HIS computer - and I can't have that!!!!! ;0(

: How many days is that now? 'Course it isn't ME counting. (Rich?)

: Take care, all,

Rich,

Just wanted to let you know that THIS kit I got was only �119.95 - �30 less than the price I was quoted from .Scan - it is x5 rather than the x6 (multi-region) but apparently that makes almost no difference. This kit is 'highly recommended', even over more expensive kits in the shop.

First try-out - 'Star Trek - First Contact' was great! The 'Cube' on 'multi-angle'- amazing!!

The system Requirements are:

* Microsoft Windows 95
* Pentium 133 MHz or higher
* 16MB RAM
* 4MB free hard disk space
* 32-bit PCI slot

Product Specifications:
* 32-bit PCI-bus Plug and Play Card
* Full MPEG-2 Main Profile/Main Level decoding
* Support Dolby AC-3 5.1-channel surround sound with S/PDIF digital output or downmixing to 2 channels
* 24-bit true color full screen VGA display w/ or w/o windowing function
* Highly compatible with VGA cards.
* Superior quality NTSC/PAL video output
* Backward compatible with MPEG-1 & VCD2.0.
* Support unique Navigation features: Multi-Aspect Ratio, Multi-Language, Multi-Angle and Parental Control, etc.
* Easy Playback Functions such as Fast Forward, Fast Reverse, Pause and Slow Motion, etc.

There you have it. Just a little more info to help in 'the decision'.

Love,
Kate.
