In OS X, you cannot play DVD with Apple's DVD Player 2.x because it is a software-decoding player. You must reboot to OS 9 and run Apple's old DVD Player 1.x as it uses Lombard's built-in hardware decoder. -- Eugene Lee eugene at anime dot net -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
