Subbing Soft (WAS Re: DVD play)

[Michael Raine]

Hi Aaron,

There are Mac G3s with DVD drives and DVD accelerated ATI Rage 128
(something like that) video chips. You should be able to put the output of
one of those through a data projector. I've no idea how much they cost. The
drive is region coded so you have to change the firmware to make it work
with multiple regions. Apparently the drive is a Matsushita SR-8583. There's
some information here:

Doesn't look easy! I'm sure there are Mac users in Japan who've done this
already. Perhaps you can find someone to show you.

I don't know of any software for superimposing subtitles on the Mac though.

Michael
