What app are you using to try and play it?
Do you have DVDPlayer.app? Or VLC.app?
DVDPlayer is an Apple app that may not have been installed if you did not have a Super Drive in your machine. I had a time finding it, and I don't remember exactly what I had to do, but I may have been able to search the install discs file archives and install it from there. VLC is an easier solution that may meet your needs. It's freeware available at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.com. Launch it and click on the FILE menu and OPEN VIDEO_TS folder. Navigate to the DVD and select the VIDEO_TS folder.

Hi listers,
I have a combined DVD/CDR in my G3 server running OS X 10.2. I can read
Data from DVD but cannot play commercial movie on DVD. Is there a cure
for that? TIA

If you don't have the DVD Player app preinstalled, there is an app you can use that will allow you to find and install an app by searching out it's installer package on the OS X installer CD and install it. I don't recall what the name of the app is, but a bit of Googling should turn it up. I had to do this on my B&W that didn't come with a DVD drive, but I later installed a drive in, then had to install the DVD player app. And for me on my B&W, the Apple DVD Player worked better than VLC. DVD Player played DVD's fairly smoothly, while I got some "stuttering" with VLC.
