VideoLogic includes a DVDPlayer that works in NT. I'm sure several other cards do too, but I don't know which ones.
According to the rec.video.dvd DVD FAQ, your other choices are: "Margi DVD-To-Go, Sigma Designs Hollywood Plus, and the related Creative Labs Dxr3 are among the few decoders that work in NT 4.0. Software decoders from InterVideo, Mediamatics, and MGI also work in NT 4.0, but aren't available retail."
This is a marketing spin on X-10's standard 2.4 GHz video transmission unit. A while back they created a 2.4 GHz video transmission unit and marketed it as VideoSender. Then, they upgraded it a bit and repackaged it with a MouseRemote and sold it as DVD Anywhere. Now, they have repackaged it with their "BOOM" software and are selling it as MP3Anywhere. All should be $77 (88 + special discount they've been offering for a while now). The transmission units simply have 3 RCA plugs, and you're expected to use them for stereo + maybe video. The MouseRemote can control your computer, and thus your MP3 player.
I've called X10 and asked them, just to double-check, and they confirmed that the MP3Anywhere and DVD Anywhere use the same transmitters/receivers. Thus, pick your preferred deal - BOOM software or no BOOM software, same price, same units, seem to be the same other accessories.
I'd love to see someone post some 3rd party software for the mouse remote. I haven't looked into how their BOOM software works, so I don't know how hard this would be, but those of us with DVD Anywhere units would rather not miss out on any potential new feature.:)
Best buy has a 5-channel for right around $100. They have a 2-channel for less. Much better than Radio Shack's awful cheap 4-channel, although it's not a Mackie or anything. Has kept this casual user very happy. Look over by the microphones/kareoke machines.
Why not occasionally fire off a known good and known bad key to each client? Clients that fail the test could then automatically have their results removed from the database. Repeat the test a few times each day on every client, or every Nth +/- some random value key. Do this regardless of whether you go open-source or not, since security through obscurity isn't. But then, since you have a decent double-checking measure in place, go open source since the security issue is the only reason not to.
Amazingly enough, some Quicktime code shows up in Microsoft's Video For Windows AVI stuff (wow, M$ couldn't pull something off themselves so they just stole it, imagine that. Fine tradition.) Which naturally resulted in a lawsuit, which was settled out of court like Microsoft always does.

According to their website, "The LSX-MPEG Player plays MPEG-2 files, it is not a DVD player."
