here's one of things that I should know where to look for, but I'm

I have no "Apple DVD Player" in the applications folder where it
should be. (Leopard 10.5.8), how can I get it? Jeff (and yes, I've
recently added an optical drive to this MDD dual 1.42)
If you don't have a supported DVD drive the OS X installer doesn't
install DVD Player. Insert your Leopard Install DVD and use Pacifist
to install DVD Player separately.
Personally, I don't like Apple DVD Player. It automatically plays
DVDs in it's default state, which I don't like. I like using VLC to
play DVDs because it can play virtually any DVD irrespective of the
region of the DVD which means we don't need region free firmware for
our DVD units any longer, they can all play any region DVDs
irrespective of how the optical drive is set. It would be rare to
have a non-region 1 DVD in America, but it's possible, and would be
a big disadvantage to Apple DVD Player since it can only play region
1 DVDs (assuming your DVD unit is set to region 1 as it normally
would be).
New problem? when I put the leopard install (or any other disk) it
won't mount on the desktop or finder.... it shows up in hardware
profile?? hmm.. Jeff
