Problems with DVD.
Unregistered--
YOu don't have anything plugged into the S-Video port do you. That will cause that error. Also, I had a friend who had this problem on her G4 tower. She re-installed and everything was fine. I personally would look in the KBase at apple or MacFixIt (though they are charging for the priviledge now
)

Re: StealthRider
Anything that adds functionality to OS X is a big deal to me. I work in OS X all day, every day of my life. The more I can do with it, the better. I find that exciting. Not to mention the fact that this update is rumored to add the ability to play DVDs on an external monitor. That continues to be the only reason I ever boot into OS 9--which I loath! So that alone makes me *very* excited.

Well, then, sorry to say, but there's one thing you can be sure of: The update will NOT be coming out today at 1pm PST.

You can play DVDs from OS X on either an external VGA or S-Video if you close your TiBook lid just after you hear the initial boot-up tone (just before you see the little smiley Mac icon). This turns off display to the laptop and gives all the processing power to the external display.
Once OS X has started up you can open it again to do any typing or mouse movement, although the screen will be blank until you unplug the external display and put the laptop to sleep.

Oh, I think you also may have to adjust your display settings before you can play DVDs on S-Video. I can't remember what I have mine set to, so just start with a low resolution and Thousands of colors, and work your way up. OS X will remember your latest settings next time you plug into the same display.

It would be great though if they'd fix this so we wouldn't have to reboot to switch to using an external display as the primary.
