I have been trying to get Apple's DVD Player to work on my system. I've looked everywhere for some way to get it to work and wondering if someone here my have or know of a solution.

Every time I play a DVD I get the can't find a support drive error.

My system is an 8500 with a Sonnet 800 Mz, Sonnet PCI IDE 66 Card, two IDE hard drives in each on the slave positions and a Philips CD/RW as one of the masters and an Apple OEM DVD drive (taken from a G4 APG) in the master position of the other IDE channel. I was hoping that Apple DVD Player word recognize the Apple OEM Drive. (Hitachi DVD-ROM GD-3000) The system "sees" the IDE drives coming from the Sonnet IDE 66 card as SCSI drives.

I used PatchBurn 1.1 to get iTunes and the system to recognize the Philips CD/RW drive and it works! I now use VLC to play DVDs but as noted by the developers it does not play back smoothly on OS X, and never will.

Is there anything I can do to get the Apple DVD drive recognized as supported by Apple DVD Player?

Thanks

8500, Sonnet 800 MHz
