Star Wars vs. DVD Player

[jmo]

Anybody else having trouble playing the new Star Wars DVDs on OSX DVD Player 4.0? I have tried two Episode 4 (A New Hope) discs and in both DVD Player hangs in chapter 26. I have to wonder if Georgie Boy has stuffed some crap in these that "normal" DVD players are not sensitive to.

I'll give it a shot! Just got mine the other day.

Have you tried cleaning the cd and then trying it again? Maybe it just got some schmutz on it.

I tried two brand new spotless rental dvds from Blockbuster, and I tried them on a PowerMac and a PowerBook.

I've noticed that our DVD player stutters a bit halfway through the first and second DVDs... Very strange.

I'll try it, but I have a SuperDrive and it might handle it more gracefully than your computer has. Are you using a DVD drive, combo drive, or SuperDrive?

[EDIT] Worked flawlessly on my iMac G5.

Could that stutter be when it changes layers?

My SuperDrive and my combo drive both hang in chapter 26. I had a friend check and his Windows XP machine stutters in about chapter 28.
