Have fun, Rich --- end of quote --- Well, someone dug this out for me, so here is what I wrote a year ago (in fact it was January 29, really almost a year ago): I solved my DVD Player problem, finally. Here's what I learned. 10.2 seems to require DVD Player 3.2 which only comes on the install disks, not on the website. It is not installed on Beige machines and maybe some others that are "unsupported." I dug around the 10.2 install disk 1 and finally found the player. It is in system/installation/packages/essentials.pkg. You won't see the sytems directory in the install disk window since it has no icon. Click the button in the upper right corner of the window (I thnk I meant left corner here---R)) to display the tool bar and select the triview or list option. There she'll be. To extract it I dragged essentails.pkg onto my desktop which copies it from the cd to the hard drive (all 362 megs.) I renamed it essentials. Removing the pkg extension allows it to behave like a regular directory so you can manipulate the files inside. I guess holding the option key and clicking on the package, then selecting Show Contents works as well. Double click on the zip archive to get Stuffit to expand it. Now you have an 'archive' that needs to be opened. I used a freeware utillity called OpenUp. The contents of the archive are made available when this is done and DVD Player 3.2 is in there. The very good news is that it works perfectly on my Beige machine (G4 466 and Radeon 7000) and looks wonderful. No additional mods are required. That is Player 3.2 doesn't check your machine id. It took hours to solve this but I began to get some sense of how arcane osX and Unix can be. It's been an education. Hope this helps someone.
