LinDVD

Intervideo has announced the first legal software DVD player for Linux, LinDVD.

At first I thought “this sucks, and I’m never gonna buy it,” but then I realized that Intervideo never intended for me to be a direct customer. Instead, I suspect that this is designed for thin-client, set-top box machines, which would be a great niche for the OS and the player. I’d definitely buy this if it came wrapped inside an inexpensive palmtop DVD player.
