First- do you have the required hardware? You need either the DVD decoder on the (I believe) the Wings personality card- a rare item OR a Radeon 7000 (I think the Radeon Mac edition will also decode DVDs, but I am not sure). Second- do you have the required software? If you do not have an Apple original DVD drive and Apple original decoder, you need to follow the instructions at the OS9forever site to install the proper software. http://os9forever.com/DVDPlayer.html I have a Toshiba DVD/CDRW drive with a Radeon 7000 that played DVDs fine in 9.1 to 9.2.1 when I followed the instructions at OS9Forever. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
