I could hardly ever get DVD's to work correctly on those older rage128 machines and OS9. I had a 500mhz G4 which would constantly hang on DVD's that played fine in a console player or the PC next to it. DVD's on the majority of machines for OS9 as a large whole just kind of sucked, but that is only my experiences over many machines. I'd many times have to reboot 3-6 times just to get through a DVD. IMHO, the dvd player was the poster child app for how much nicer using OSX could be over OS9. It was probably the first app that caused me to start booting to OSX to perform a function instead of doing is in OS9. It pretty much held that crown until final cut pro 3, which is one hell of an OSX app. -- Michael Bryan Bell http://homepage.mac.com/michael_bell/ -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
