[QUOTE="Queensgate555, post: 1574292, member: 293407"] “There was an initialization error. A valid DVD drive could not be found. [-70012]“ This is the message that I received but, the Disk Title appeared on the desktop and I could read the files on the disk, it appears that the DVD Player program will not start without the internal drive. The external drive will play audio CD's and read files, it just doesn't play DVDs. I did a Google search on that and came up with this: GET YOUR EXTERNAL SUPER DRIVE WORKING [URL="http://macenstein.com/default/2011/07/how-to-get-your-external-super-drive-working-in-lion/"]LINK[/URL] "...You’re going to need to slightly modify the DVDPlayback framework on your Mac, and to do that, you need a Hex editor....." Don't know if I want to jump into this yet so, I found a workaround for the problem, I downloaded VLC Media player and, now the DVD will play via that program. . [/QUOTE]
