Totally necro'ing this for amusement..

There's a dvd decoder card that goes in the PCMCIA slot for the powerbook g3 isn't there (like this --> http://store.mcetech.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=DVDMPG2&Category_Code=_pbg398&Product_Count=1)? Not that adding a pcmcia card would be trivial or anything, but that seems like one plausible direction to take. Assuming you fit the qualifications below, some kind of wacky nubus pcmcia controller might allow you to use that. I expect you'd seem some kind of special software to make that work... Or, maybe this -> http://micha.freeshell.org/pcmcia_drive/index.php could be repurposed for that...

I hate theoretical possibilities... They are always incredibly unlikely to be doable, work out, especially not for the average person.
