DaaT, of IsComputerOn fame, has spotted an interesting recent post on Bernd Korz’s blog about native DVD playback in ZETA. In the post, Bernd mentions that a developer has recently ported several pieces of software related to DVD playback and he includes a screenshot of the ZETA MediaPlayer application playing a DVD. I asked Bernd if the DVD support was added to MediaPlayer itself – or at the media_kit level – and his response was was that it was implemented “in the good old BeOS way.” Besides allowing DVD playback without the need for VLC, this could potentially allow ZETA users to rip DVD video and encode it in XviD/DivX, without any additional software.
