Whilst having a clean-out the other day, I rediscovered a (legal) DVD I purchased from the US a few years ago. I'm sure when I ordered it, I ordered the copy appropriate to AUS, but I've never been able to play it, so suspect I may have been supplied a US-region copy. It's sat on the shelf for quite some time collecting dust...
I popped it into my MBP this evening to see if it would play for me. Alas, the drive spun (at a very slow speed) briefly, then just spat the disc out. So I put it back in and had a look with both Finder and Total Finder, but apparently the disc is not even recognised before it gets spat out.
A web-search revealed VLC may be the answer, so started that, popped the disc back in -but same result.
It's a movie I've been looking forward to seeing for a long time, since it had such rave industry (aviation) reviews, entitled One Six Right. Since the disc has never been played, it's physically in pristine condition.
I would really appreciate any advice anyone could offer that may allow me to view the movie!
