The 333mhz required a PC Card to play DVD content. Neither will work in OS X. To the OP, try booting into OS9 and see if your DVD will play. That would help to determine if it's a drive or not. I think if you see the contents and VLC recognizes that it's video then it's probably not the drive. --- JeffH -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
