[P1] iBook and DVD movies....UPDATE

I just wish to say thank you to this list for helping me out with my 
DVD questions.  I had no problems at all with any of my "in flight 
movies".  As recommended I just left my iBook in sleep mode when not in 
use and all was well.  I had great battery life to boot!

Only problem seems to be the audio of some movies are not as loud as 
others making listening a little difficult with or without headphones.  
Comparing to my iTunes the volume in DVD player is really too low.  
Overall just a minor detail that I am assuming has to do with the 
decoding of the DVD (Dolby surround issues?) compared to plain old MP3 
audio.

I must say it was a real surprise to see the number of Apple laptops 
(not to mention iPods) that I did see in airports and on the flights!

Now I must admit that I am seriously considering upgrading to the 15" 
Powerbook after playing around with one for awhile.

As usual this list is a great source of information.  Keep up the great 
listing!

Ken
