[G4] 10.4.4 fixed a problem

[Daniel Brieck Jr.]

Oddly enough I can't answer that question with any degree of  
certainty, now.

Shortly after that time I acquired a slightly better PowerMac G4 867  
Quicksilver and installed the same graphics (ATI Radeon 8500) card  
and the Pioneer DVR-109 into it and the DVD playback work flawlessly  
on the 867 right there and then. Then I took the graphics card from  
the 867 and its older Pioneer Burner and put it in the the G4 500 AGP  
and its DVD playback work flawlessly too immediately. So there must  
have been a unique conflict between the G4 500 and the Radeon 8500.  
Since I don't have the Radeon in the G4 500 AGP I don't know if it is  
fixed, but since your is working it is safe to assume it would work  
after the 10.4.4 update as well.

That is good that it is fixed, looks like it was an Apple Problem all  
along if one of their updates fixed it.
