[G4] MPEG DVD play problem

[nagable at comcast.net]

Joe,

I'm not sure how this works, but a friend could not use her newly-installed DVD burner because the OS was only 10.1.   The system profiler would not recognize it.  She had to upgrade to Tiger to get the profiler to see it, and then it would play and burn anything.  

You didn't say if you were running any version of OS 10, and OS 9 is seriously out of date.

Good luck.

Nate
