CoolDVD for the Mac, a Sept. '98 Macworld review: not a good review. "The CoolDVD's video playback is adequate but not impressive. We tested several titles, running the video through both our Mac's monitor and a high-end consumer NTSC monitor (the CoolDVD supports both connections simultaneously). The computer monitor displayed pixilated artifacts, and some ghosting occured on the NTSC monitor. Neither problem made the video unwatchable, but the defects were distracting even to the casual observer." Macworld's buying advice: "If you've got a G3 Mac and you absolutely must be the first on your block to own a DVD-equipped Macintosh, the CoolDVD will do the job. But you can bet that in six months there will be better, cheaper devices available." (list price $499)
