OSX DVD Player issue

[muller]

Hi guys,

Ive got an annoying problem im hoping someone can help me with.

Im running Panther on a G4 tower with a built in CD-R.

Ive just purchased a Firewire DVD-RW which works fine...However, when I click on the DVD Player app to watch a film the message comes up

"There was an initialization error...A valid DVD drive could not be found. (-70012).

like I said the actual player burns fine, and ive installed programs off it too. I just cant watch films!

Any ideas as to what to do?

Thanks alot

Apple's DVD player doesn't like external drives. Try VLC
from versiontracker.com.
