[QUOTE="cowasaki, post: 636791, member: 36098"] Sorry Bry but movies are REALLY going to be a problem. In order to watch a blu-ray movie the complete data path needs to be HDCP compliant. This means the MONITOR, the GRAPHICS CARD and the SOFTWARE. Unfortunately no Mac pro graphics cards are HDCP compliant at this time so you wont be able to watch films YET. We will need to wait for Apple to release their ble-ray option first so that we know. Clearly TOAST 8 or 9 will allow you to use the computer for data and we should be able to use some video software to view non copyright material as films but I am not sure about watching movies. Another thing is that I wouldn't bother fitting a read only drive. Read only drives cost about £85 at the moment and you can get read/write drives for about £135+ [/QUOTE]
