    DVD movie server possible?

    Is it possible to play a DVD on a PC that has no DVD drive, but is connected to another PC with a DVD drive over a network?

    Tried mapping the DVD drive, but PowerDVD won't use the network drive as the default DVD player, and manually selecting the .vob files over the network is too much for my non-PC literate family member to cope with!

    Any ideas networking gurus?

    You can map out a dvd drive and access it with Windvd. Then just choose that drive under options. Hope this helps.
