This was true for me on Tiger, but interestingly enough for me the DVD
Player app always worked in Leopard even without a monitor. For that
matter, vlc did as well, something else that failed in Tiger. One
thing to note though is that I definitely noticed the mini not running
at full speed when a monitor was not connected. It wasn't unuseable
but was definitely noticeable.

Yes, the dvd player program works well, but on a mac mini, if there
is not a monitor connected, it will refuse to work. You would not
see this on an Imac or laptop, because the screen is built in.

folder? There is a app in there called dvd player, and believe me
when I say: it works absolutely perfectly!

Subject: mac mini and dvd's
Hi all, for those with mac mini's, who aren't using a monitor, do
you
know if you can play dvd's on your mac mini, or do you have to
fool the
mac mini in to thinking it is hooked up to a monitor when it is not,
and what would you have to purchase to do this, since I was told I
wouldn't need a monitor with my mac mini when I purchased it.
Thanks
in advance for any information.
Marty
