My father is trying to play a dvd in his imac. he just played a copy of a movie given to him with no problem. Now he is trying to play a movie from netflix and is getting an error message of "supported disk not available". what does this mean? Is this a codec or something hes missing? He has a dvd burner player model imac, the 17" flat screen model he says. Sorry I couldnt get a model # out of him ;)

Any help would be appreciated :)
 
Which app are you using to play the DVD? Apple supplies DVD Player to play DVDs. Try this app and report back.
 
If DVD Player won't work, you may want to try VLC.

It's possible that it's a very low-tech problem like dirt or scratches on the disc. This is often a problem with rented movies. Some careful wiping with a soft cloth (I like to use old well-worn t-shirts) could do the trick.
