"Sure, Apple has DVD-ROM drives. The problem is that all these DVD's with PC features have Wintel executables that you can't run on a Mac. I have yet to find a "Mac friendly" DVD with DVD-ROM supplements other than a few that just had Adobe PDF files with scripts, etc."

Thanks for the reply, Steve. How do you see this. I see this as a BIG problem in the future as DVDs achieve dominance in the home entertainment market. I don't understand how the people who first sold AVID editing system bundled on a home computer have overlooked this. Do you know whether they have formed an alliance with any of the DVD producers, distributors etc. to develop a format that works on their MAC architecture?
