I just inherited a b&w Power Mac G3 from the job I was laid off from recently...and I cannot find a way to watch DVDs on it.
The computer does have a DVD drive and decoder, but I cannot find a version of the Apple DVD Player software that is compatible with this mahine. I upgraded from 9.0.4 to 9.2.1 somehow thinking this would help, but it didn't.
I have version 2.1 of the DVD player. I was told that 1.3 would work - but I don't have the OS 9 CD and I coudn't find it in the 9.1 update I downloaded, and I certainly can't find that version of the DVD player anywhere online.
Does anyone know where/how I can find it? Or is my only other choice to upgrade to OS X and use DVD Player 3.1.1? Would it be worth upgrading the OS on a cranky ole machine like this?
