Many
laptops (Dell for example) offer a
DVD drive/player option that will
allow you to play compatible MPEG2
files. We have tested the DVD-to-Go
PCMCIA card (made by Margi Systems
Inc.) sold by Dell for use with laptop
DVD drives and it allows you to select
compatible MPEG2 files from the Windows
laptopÕs file system and play
them using a DVD Navigator/Player.
It even includes a dongle that provides
S-video, composite video, and stereo
audio outputs for external use. The
DVD drive itself is not required in
the laptop to use the PCMCIA card.
Other laptop solutions may also work;
check with the manufacturer to see
if your DVD drive equipped computer
can also play MPEG2 files from its
hard drive.
