OMG - I am so clueless. So I can take one of our movie DVDs and just put it in the little sliding drive thing on my laptop?? How cool!
I have a show today but when I get back I am going to try it!

You are sooo funny. You can play any movie on your laptop as long as it is the right formatting. As long as it is not an ancient laptop you should have no problem--most come with a Media Center also. On a plane; be cautious--they have rules--landing, take off ect...NO LAPTOPS or CELL PHONES.

Is anyone else having a problem with the opportunity CD on a laptop or computer? I played it on my DVD and it worked but on either laptops and computers it didn't work. HMMMMMMMMM??? Anyone else


I had the same problem and I'm very disapointed. I wanted to take it to shows and maybe play some of it!:(
 
Mine worked fine! If only my battery lasted longer than 20 mins I would play it at my show!!
 
I definitely did not get this packet. Guess I will have to call HO. EERRGGHH!
