This just keeps getting worse. I thought my new Pioneer DVR-109 was 
defective because it wouldn't display a DVD in OSX10.4.1's DVD player. 
After reinstalling my old drive, I tried to play a DVD in OSX and I got 
the same results as with the 109. Sound was OK but picture was 
pixsellated like bad TV reception of Digital Video. So I went to OS9.2.2 
and the player their worked fine (other than crashing when I tried to 
exit the player. So, before I use this RMA to return the Pioneer 109 to 
Newegg I thought I should be fair and try the 109 in OS9.2.2.

To make a long story short (its already ridiculous enough going off 
half-cocked so to speak), the 109 worked fine in the OS9.2.2 player (and 
also locked up the computer when trying to exit the player. 

Its all a case of too much too soon. I just installed the OSX10.4.1 last 
week, installed a Photoshop CS2 upgrade and then tried to get this 
DVR-109 installed today! Now I must call Newegg and not use their 
gracious RMA replacement offer and also call Pioneer for a nasty email I 
pounded out much to quickly. Ouch!

So beware all! Do not make too many changes too quickly or you may have 
to eat some crow!

Now how do I report this fiasco to Apple and their new OSX10.4.1?


Chow!
