• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Hi folks - been looking for info re: troubleshooting Apple DVD Player - am running os 10.4 on a powermac G3 b&w (450), just under 1 gig ram, ati 9200 graphics card.. and have recently experienced nasty stuttering (both video and audio) whenever trying to watch new (rented) DVDs with apple dvd player.. Have looked in a couple places on the web, suggestions range from clean the disk (I have and it is) to reinstall the os..(really don't want to just yet), or use another app (like VLC - which I seem to have similar issues with). Is it time for a new (to me) drive? Anybody had similar problems and come out the other side? Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.
cheers-
