The iDot DVD-ROM drive with hardware decoder drive adds $195 to the cost of a computer with CD-ROM. The hardware decoder downmixes the Dolby AC-3 sound to 2-channel stereo -- sounds like CUBE? idot.com We've just added the latest Generation 3 DVD-ROM drive from Toshiba to our product line-up. This drive can read virtually all CD-ROM formats, eliminating many of the compatibility problems of older generation drives. Compared to first generation drives, the new drives can read DVD-ROM discs up to 4.8 times faster and CD-ROM discs at up to 32x maximum rotational speed. Access time is also improved to an average 140ms on DVD and 90ms with CD-ROMs. Maximum storage capacities are 4.38GB for single layer/single sided discs and 15.9GB for dual layer/double sided discs. The drive also has a 100,000 hour MTBF (mean time between failure) rating. Bundled with all of our drives is a hardware decoder card that decompresses and plays back real time, full motion MPEG-2 video with Dolby AC-3 audio. Don't be fooled by less expensive software solutions that drain horsepower from your processor and provide lower quality video. This is the ultimate solution for high quality video and the soon to be expanding range of game titles that offer DVD support (no more switching CD-ROMs, everything fits on a single DVD-ROM disc)!
