No doubt FLV format has quickly established itself as the format of choice for embedded video on the web.

You only need that adapter if you want to mount the drive internally or put it on the IDE bus.

MTS Converter software converts digital files into a format such that you can easily edit videos recorded using Cam coders.

Drives are now $50 since HD-DVD support dropped my Mfg. (Toshiba). That makes this a nice, USB-powered DVD drive for general PC/Mac use, and possibly HD-DVD player (with proper drivers, haven’t tried it yet)

I dont think that drive is SATA, the adapter picture shows a 40pin PATA connector. Comments on the site which hosts that HOWTO say its a mini ATAPI connector. Anyways you can get these adapters from old iMacs, they all use laptop optical drives and have adapter boards on them to give a normal 40 pin PATA connector.

this might not be a bad option for the early adopters, but I think I’ll hold off until I see what kind of prices a internal read only HD-DVD drive is going to level out at. 199 is pricey for no burning capabilities (granted HD-DVD is a new technology) but I’m content with DL-DVD until I can get the drive that will both read and write.

Data transfer probably isn’t fast enough to justify SATA.

Anyone find it interesting that the drive isnt SATA? Ok not that interesting, just that I would prefer a sata drive to an ide..

It’s probably easier and cheaper to make an IDE to USB adapter, instead of sata to usb.

Actually, according to http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/dvdplayer/ we can play HD-DVDs. Maybe it just doesn't support the copy protection yet, or something.
