[G4] Updates do not fix my DVD playback

[Daniel Brieck Jr.]

Yeah, Computer locked up.  Putting a DVD in the drive  caused the  
Apple DVD player to auto-launch and yes seeming crash or near halt  
the computer I was not waiting all day for it to be sure. But after  
the problem still remains, no DVD movie playback as well with the  
Apple "Quality" DVD player and the ATI Radeon 8500 upgrade.


Who is the blame for this problem? Apple?  ATI? or US? Buying a new  
graphics card is a bit ridiculous since we paid for the 8500 update  
not to long ago, and it is not a bad card that needs immediate  
replacement like the Rage 128 that came with the computer...
