Hi everyone,

I’m updating a simple app I made for someone - it basically takes a Word-generated HTML file and pretties it up, etc. for viewing on a projector screen.

Now the person would like to have corresponding video playback (from a local DVD) as well - so, ideally, he would insert a DVD, load up the app, and simply click a play button.

I’ve fooled around a bit with the VLC Firefox plugin but without plausible results. Is there any other good way to do this?
