Except what I really want to do is play DVD images. Trouble is, CSS has a way of getting in the way, so I end up having to plug in my laptop, where I have DeCSS-enabled software installed.
Other than that, I plug a USB harddrive directly into the TV, where I have already extracted the movie from the DVD as an AVI file. Works 95% of the time.
