10.3: Use an external DVD drive with DVD Player 4.0
Authored by: fscudder on Dec 05, '03 06:43:32PM

I'm running 10.3.1 on an Imac tray loader, 333Mhz with a 500Mhz Harmoni cpu upgrade card with a firewire port. I have an external firewire DVD super drive purchased from MCE. I extracted the apple dvd player with Pacifist but it will not launch, just quits right after launch, there is no error message about not having an internal dvd drive, it just won't launch. Have repaired permissions. I've got a 30G Maxter hd. 3G of free space on the first partition of 2. I can get the MCE drive to play dvd's using the VLC media player. It works but the presentation is choppy. I'd like to be able to use the Apple DVD player if possible. Thanks.
Frank
