Kingmax Notebook DVD Decoder ZV-DVD...What does this do?

Hi all,

I recently acquired an old Toshiba Tecra 510CDT notebook, and wondering exactly what would this card do for me? I believe this would make video (like video transferred to CD-Rs) less choppy on the old machine (it barely plays now, partly due to limited memory; 32mb, but working on getting a 128mb stick off Ebay) but also would it decode DVDs as well (the machine only has a cd-rom drive)? Info on this type of card is kind of spotty, as the "technology" (lol) is so old. Details from this link:

Anyone have the 411 on this thing? What benefits can I expect?

Thanks in advance!

It would have to have a DVD-ROM in order to even recognize a DVD. I think that's just a breakout box to get the video to another display. I could be wrong though.
