Re: External DVD player for Linux

I decided to return the item to eBay. 

I shall probably buy a mains-powered DVD reader to display DVDs on a stand-alone desktop monitor.  Such devices will have an audio output for my hifi.

This doesn't solve all my problems, of course, as I can't "rip" CDs for backup storage. 
I would be interested to hear from Members who can run an external DVD reader/writer with a laptop, with details of which DVD reader and OS and any special settings that had to be made. 

My thanks to Mad Penguin and Gra...
