	Thanks, Bill, ME, and everyone else who responded. I was unaware
so many DVD formats existed (DVD[1-9], DVD+, DVD RW, and so on).

	I've a DVD drive on my laptop (RH8), and can use mplayer to view
DVDs (big whoop! They play ever so much better on my DVD/TV thingie, but
heyyy).

	Ok, I'll have a looksee at that s'ware you mentioned above. How
much (ballpark) did that Sony DRU-510A DVD+-RW drive cost? Would you
recommend it? (4.5g is quite large enough).
