Using Multiple Viewing Angles On Dvds

I have a number of NASA DVDs that use multiple angle options when viewing launches, amongst other features. I know that DVD player has the facility to change viewing angles on the fly but is there any way of doing this in Frontrow2 using the remote (or any other remote, I have a Harmony 885)

15" MacBook Pro 2ghz 2gb Ram, Mac OS X (10.5.1), Also Dell P4 3.4ghz, a 17" MBP soon I hope

No, there's no interface to do this from inside Front Row. I would suggest continuing to use the DVD Player application to access those options.

Thought as much, thanks for your input. Think I can live without putting all these on discs on a hd and using frontrow. Means I'l probably just keep a DVD player attached to my setup, as they're not discs I watch every day, having bought them for posterity rather than watching everyday

You can still put them on your hard drive and open them with the DVD Player application. It can also play from a folder rather than a disk. But, you're right, it might not be worth the hard drive space if you're not going to watch them often.
