Ah, guess I misunderstood the question then.
If you have the controller visible, you can see both the title and scene
listed. It will say title 1 and scene 1. These are under each other on
the screen. This shows both the currently playing selection, and where
in the selection it is. Plus, I'd like to point out once again, that if
you use a mouse click (vo-shift-space) on the time display it will switch
to a time remaining display. This comes in real handy when navigating
the disc using the arrow keys, and you don't want to go back to the main
menu before you can move to the next selection.

Will, I'll have to check, but I think it says chapter one, title etc.
Amazing how quickly one forgets. I'll try it out and report back.

Well what I did is to launch the app first then insert the dvd. I
dont' know if this will make a difference, but I'd suggest that. I
also configured my machine to not launch dvd player and the like in
any case, I'd rather do something myself. The good part is once an
app is launched, inserting a dvd or blank disc etc. will not allow
another app to launch as far as I can tell.

Travis, just wanted you to know that I've been running Softcon
Dvd Player on my Intel Mac and haven't had any problems as of
yet. The burning software was the only bugger I ran into.

Softcon dvd player has not been tested on an intel mac. I would
guess it's not working, because of something in it's
initialization getting messed up, because of the different way
intel/ppc processors handle their numbers. It could be any
number of things, it does a lot of initial setup before you get
to see anything. I'll make the same offer I did before. If you
want to troubleshoot it for me, let me know, and I'll send you a
version with full debugging in it, then you can send me the log
file. Until I get an intel mac, or until someone can send me
the exact error, (at least the error number, if not the message)
then I can't do anything to fix it, since it works fine on all
the ppc machines I've tried it on.
