An external DVD rom solution

My employer purchased for my use a flat panel iMac. I only thought I could justify the lower end model. Fortunately, I'm very please with the low end machine nonetheless. I just need to bump my ram up from the measily 128 megs that was included.

I had hopes of being able to attach by Firewire an external DVD rom player to play some DVD movies in my spare time. My office is located in my home.

I searched the Apple Knowledge base to see what my options might be available. Thats when I discovered according to Apple an external DVD player would not function with Apple's player presumably because of licensing restrictions.

My question is, has anyone been able to use third party software to make an external dvd rom player play dvd movies? Should I expect that this will work in some fashion? Any suggestions?
 
It seems no one has encountered my external dvd player problem. Can anyone recommend another board that might have insights into this issue? You don't need to post, just send me a message.

Thanks
