It works in OS X!
I have a firewire PowerBook, which is virtually the same as the first generation Ti Book (all but the proccessor that is). The trick to getting it to work is as soon as the power button is hit then shut the lid on the PB. Make sure that the TV or monitor is on so that OS X thinks that is the primary monitor to use. The monitor or TV will be the only one running and the PB screen will remain black. Then sit back and enjoy the movie!
Ti Rev. A, OS 10.1 confirmed
I just followed eagle eye's instructions and can confirm that it works on a Rev. A TiBook under OS 10.1. The computer booted to the TV (the background image got removed -- it's too big I suppose) and the lid remains closed. I plugged in my pro mouse to access the DVD player and everything works fine. I'm watching Gladiator as I write this.
One note about picture quality: In addition to the large black bands on the top and bottom of the screen, there are also two smaller grey bands just above and below the actual picture. I don't remember if these gray bands appeared when using the OS 9 DVD player and my TV, or whether this is specific to the Gladiator DVD, but it looks acceptable overall (of course, my low-20s-inch TV is hardly optimal for this movie!). This is great news! Glenn |
