IMHO, if you're going to watch anything on a Pismo or Lombard, boot
into OS 9. It saves a whole lot of hassle, plus on the Lombard, it's
the only way to go. I know this is slightly off the thread topic, but
it's somewhat related, but I've been having troubles with discs
refusing to mount on my Lombard. Sometimes it works, sometimes it
doesn't. Today, it really annoyed me, because I had a brand-new CD that
I was trying to get to load on the ol' Lombard and it refused. It was
an "enhanced" CD, but it still clearly said on the labeling that it
would work on OS 8 or 9 with QuickTime 4 or above. The Lombard refuses
to mount it in OS X, and I don't want to go to OS 9, because I don't
have any mp3 encoding software for 9. In the end, I gave up and used
iTunes on my Windoze machine, but I'm really irritated at things for
not working on the Lombard.
Any suggestions?

Now, on my Lombard, I remember a little button that you can press
with a pen to force the drive to open. That would've also worked, but
that's just my experience. It's probably not good for it, but it'd
work.

Caleb,
I was eyeing that and was going to insert a paper clip into if other
options didn't work.
For me, watching a DVD is always a little sketchy on my good old
Pismo. I think if I forward chapters or fast forward, it's prone to
freezing up.
Thanks,
Donald
