[QUOTE="psc, post: 351467, member: 28648"] Hello together, I just found this forum. Since I have not found my question/problem in previous posts, I'd like to start a new topic. Generally: My MacBook is my first Mac. I worked on very old versions of MacOS years ago. But I am very found of OS X. It's really a close to be perfect OS for private users IMHO. But there is a problem with my DVD player. The computer often crashes in this program. This is unusual with such a modern machine (MacBook, 2006, OSX 10.4.9, black (powerful), 2 GB RAM). It often happens when I made a break in the show and try to restart playing afterwards. First, there is no reaction. Often, I can get it running while playing with the active corners (window shuffeling) and reactivating DVD player. But after doing this some times, the program goes definitely to nirwana (just the colorful rainbow ball is cycling...). I can't change to another program. There is even not the possibility to turn off the computer in a normal manner (short push of the shutdown button and select to shut down). I have to turn it off the hard way (long push of this button). This makes me wonder if I do not loose important data by this... It happens if I try skipping a few chapters backwards (prev/back buttons), too. This gave me a hunch that the antivirus program running in the background might be involved (VirusBarrier X4). Maybe it tries to check the huge movie file?? Nevertheless, deactivating the background activity (as I was told by their support) did not change the situation... It is really unclear to me because all other programs are working fine. The hardware itself seems to work without problems, too. I mean I can read CDs and DVDs without any problems. Therefore I am looking for other advice: - Has anyone seen this problem, too (I mean everything is working perfectly fine, it's just this DVD player application) - I thought that DVD player is running natively (not on Rosetta) on Intel processors?? - Does anyone know a solution to this problem? - Might it be corrected in OSX 10.5 (leopard yeah!), I heard that DVD player shall have a new GUI, maybe it will be different underneath, too? Thanks for your answers. Sincerely, psc [/QUOTE]
