[G4] Re: OSX10.4.1 DVD Player problem!

[Richard M. Kriss]

Tom,

I had some problems with the OSX DVD Player.app when I was testing my first
test burn from the Pioneer DVD-109. I had the same breakups on my old RCA
set top box DVD Player so I assumed it was a bad burn.  I was wrong!  I
purchased a new DVD Player for the TV and the burned disc played perfect.  I
suspect there are some problems in the OSX DVD Player as well.  I just
noticed Steve Goldstein's posting regarding a new alternative to the Apple
DVD Player called MPlayer OSX.app that was released in beta on 6/20/05.  One
cool thing about MPlayer OSX is it has an option that will let you play a
movie from a VIDEO_TS file. The beta version of MPlayer OSX has some bugs
but it works pretty good. Try it as an alternative to the Apple DVD Player.
