Hi John, Make sure that the monitor resolutions on the Powerbook and the projector are the same. Mirroring requires the same resolutions running (hence the term mirroring ;-) ), which may be the cause of your problems. DVDs run at 1024x768 on the PB. The projector may not be able to run at that resolution (especially if it is an older projector), or follow the instructions from menubar's post. You may have to drag the menu bar icon on top the the projector's picture in the monitor prefs to get the DVD to play. Seeya Rod!
