• 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.

I can't get videos to play on eMac

On my eMac I just recently installed updates to get to OS 10.2.8 (from 10.2).

When I try to view videos I get the message "you either have javascript turned off or an old version of Adobe Flash player" or nothing even shows up (like on YouTube).
I don't have Javascript turned off. So I have been trying to download Flash.

I have Firefox 2.0.0.14 installed. After I download Flash Player 9 (supported by OS 10.1-10.3), I click on "Flash Player.plugin" and I get the message "could not read the dictionary of the application or extension because it is not scriptable." Any thoughts? Movies ran fine before I updated to 10.2.8. I may have updated Firefox, too, at some point. Maybe that's the problem. Firefox 3 is not supported by my system, and I haven't been able to find Firefox 1.
