[QUOTE="Hunter, post: 229399, member: 15171"] eMac 1.25Ghz PowerPC G4 512mb OSX 10.4.7 I have a LaCie external DVDRW connected via firewire cable, but whenever i try to use a DVD, whether it be a DVD Movie or a regualar DVD app, i always get this error: "There was an initialisation error" "A Valid DVD drive could not be found. [-70012]" I have tried various brands, ie. Verbatim, PNY. This only happens with the default apple DVD player. I can use VLC with no problems. Oddly, not knowing what version my player is, i tried updating it to the latest version, 4.6.1. When installing, i got the red exclamation mark on the apple HDD, stating that it could not be installed because a newer version was already installed, Any clues to this error? [/QUOTE]
