And how are you proposing that he plays his CDI or VideCDs? You see he will still be face with the problem of having a program to extract the mpeg video stream off his CDI or VideoCDs. In the case of the hardware decoder someone will have to write a driver for it. I just want to know what part of the following statement you don't understand : "The way to bypass the Philips Dragonian licensing is to ask Brian to write a library api for the code he has to decode CDI and VideoCD." >From The Desk Of Petri Helenius : > Jordan K.
