Iv been looking into this, other than using that front pannel thing that comes with most audigy 2 cards now adays ( i dont know what its actualy called) i pritty much dont want to get that unless theirs an external version of that drive bay i can use. so im trying to look into other ways too hook up a dvd player to my pc, any ideas? iirc iv been told a tv out card might be the only way to go. but i want to look at all options :)

What are you actualy trying to do? A TV out card is for out putting to a TV, not from a device like a DVD player.

Personaly, I'd think that hooking up a DVD player to your PC was a stupid idea. The quality loss you gett is quite high. You are far better playing DVDs on the PC.

To be honest, with the prices of DVD drives these days, I'd get a new drive rather than faffing around with TV cards. BTW, the USB breakout box you are referring to there would come under the TV card category.

I understand DD's frustration here:
The Live/Audigy/2/ZS Platinums come with the Live/Audigy drive. The Live came in internal only version. The Audigy got the choice of an external version which looks very much like that video editor box, but they are not the same. The external Audigy drive is for sound only, and IIRC connects up via Firewire.
