DVD problem

UAAAARRRR!
i've been watching DVDs on my mac for some time, never had any problems. now i bought one, but OS X 10.2 won't mount it. when i start up using os 9.2 everything works fine. i rechecked with other DVDs, the problem is only showing up with this particular DVD.

any ideas?
 
It's probably a bad movie - you didn't want to watch it anyway - Jaguar is just helping you realize it. :p


Certain DVDs don't play well on computers, especially old ones and unrated ones.
If it works in OS 9, it could be that the OS 9 DVD code includes a hack to make that kind of DVD work, and that hack was left out / doesn't work well in the OS X version.

That's the truth as I see it, but maybe someone else has better advice
 
i wish this would be true :) but i know that movie and it just rocks...

well anyway, i'll just rip it then, and pass it on...
 
got it! i found out why the DVD won't mount under os x. the volume title has an 'umlaut' in it. the console.log told me.... should have checked it earlier...

APPLE! FIX THAT!
 
Hmm, I wonder if you could mount the volume manually? Does X just spit it out after you put it in?
 
no, it just doesnt mount. i tried to mount over the terminal, but i don't know the right syntax, i think. can you help?
