As most folks have already mentioned, OS X does not and probably will never support DVD playback on Wallstreet (and Lombard too) via its own DVD Player software. You can play DVDs with other software like VLC, but it's a software-only decoder (so a slow CPU means choppy playback). And I the on-board video card is only connected via PCI (or AGP 1x), which limits the amount of data that the CPU can send to video, and thus leads to more choppy playback. -- Eugene Lee -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
