Some extra details about what/how to patch
This patch is for DVD Player 3.2. Quit the DVD Player before beginning.
Use a terminal to type: cd /Applications/DVD Player.app/Contents/Frameworks/DVDPlayback.framework/Versions/A (Path may change depending on where you store your DVD Player.)
The second copy is your backup safety in case something should go wrong. DO NOT close the terminal window. You will need to use it to finish this procedure and you will need to be in the same current directory. Now edit the DVDPlayback file with HexEdit. Below are the two sections within the DVDPlayback file you want to edit. Change the TWO 40 82 values marked in bold with 48 00. (I've included lots of extra hex around each 40 82 so these sections can be more easily found in future versions of DVD Player, should the offsets change.)
DO NOT change the 3rd '40 82' at 0x000F7900; only change the two which are bold. Save your changes. Now return to your terminal window and type: sudo cp ~/Desktop/DVDPlayback . (Note the period at the end of this command.) It will ask you for your administrator's password. The DVDPlayback file should still be owned by root, group admin. This works on my G4/800, Pioneer DVR-A03, hooked in through a open-topped Other World Computing firewire hard drive case (not one designed for CD/DVD players). One small problem though: I'm not getting any audio. If anyone has any ideas about how to get that working, I'm all ears! -Colin.
Some extra details about what/how to patch
I tried this method ( not the terminal commands ) and my dvd player
USB 2.0 Enclosure
I'd like to say this works with a USB 2.0 enclosure and DVR-104 drive

Thanks a lot!
Using a Lacie FireWire DVD drive with DVD Player in 10.2.8
I have an external firewire DVD drive in OS X 10.2.8. and followed how to install the patch for DVD Player 3.2 by using Pasifist and Hexedit. However when I open DVD Player it starts to play the DVD and only goes as far as the copyright protection at the beginning of the DVD movie. The beachball starts spinning and then I have to force quit. Where am I going wrong? |
