DVD format means "Digital Versatile Disc or Digital Video Disc". It was developed and invented by Sony, Panasonic and Samsung in 1995. All of those DVD movies you see in the stores (you have stores in your part of the world, right?) are in DVD format. -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - Windows XP SP3

Anyway, how do you knwo what the cpu load is since you've never been able to get anything to run? If you're still having trouble with this look into xine: http://www.xine-project.org/home
