Hello Chris
I can duplicate this on my Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion. I just
command-tab to the Finder and be done with it. If I wish to access the
Dvd Player controls then I can just temporarily undo full screen, do
what I need to do, return to full screen, command-tab to the Finder and
be done with it. Me being only having light perception I could probably
do away with full screen entirely. But yes I suggest you check this out
with Apple Accessibility.
Chris.

OK, guilty as charged, I confess, I've been using a mac now for over a
year and a half, and only now have tried playing a DVD with the native
DVD player app. I absolutely love it! Talk about accessible! Holy
Cow! the only issue is that I have it set where once my DVD starts
playing, I hit command+control+F to enter full screen mode. I do this
so that I can see the movie over the entire screen and not just a small
little portion. The issue is however, when I enter full screen mode,
Voiceover keeps saying DVD Player has new window. It keeps doing that
every few seconds. OK, yeah, I could set up a key map, being this is a
mac mini, so I can't do track pad commander, which would let me toggle
muting and unmuting of speech, and sure, I could even set up an activity
for DVD Player to mute speech entirely when the app is opened, but that
defeats the whole purpose, as sometimes I may want access to the player
interface so I can navigate the menu bar etc. So really, though those
options definitely would work, don't get me wrong, they seem a bit
extreme. I just wonder why in the first place, it thinks there is a new
window. No, it isn't doing it every time the screen visually moves from
one frame/scene to another. It seems to be doing it more on a fix
timeframe, like, say... oh?... I dono,... maybe like, every say... 5
seconds or so. It's really! really! irritating!
I suppose I could use VLC, but is that really necessary? Has anyone up
here had any luck with the default DVD Player.app native app that comes
with OSX? If so, how'd you get rid of that message? I remember this
being an issue very vaguely in Snowleopard, but I'd think they would
have fixed it by now, in Mountain Lion. If I dont' wanna use this app,
nor VLC, are there any other DVD players I can get that're freeware,
that will work?
I'll wait to hear what you all have to suggest, but I'm wonderring if an
e-mail up to Apple Accessibility may be in order here.
Chris.
