[G4] OSX10.4.1 DVD Player problem!

[Thomas J. Fobia]

Yes Daniel, I agree that theirs a conflict between the ATI-8500 (AGP in 
my case) and the OSX10.4.1 software. Its odd that my DVD's will play 
fine when Im on the OS9.2.2 but not on OSX10.4.1! Even a downloaded 
Mplayer wont work for me in OSX. Thanks for the feedback. Hope relief is 
on the way for both of us.
