Any DVD player software that upscales?

I assume Apple DVD Player does not upscale standard def dvd's
Any playback software that will ?

I don't know what "upscale" means, but the only other DVD players for Mac OS X that I know of are

  • I need a DVD player software for my computer...

    I had the working DVD player software for my Powerbook G4 installed, and somehow it got deleted, and now will not play any DVD's. I don't have any of the starter discs that came with the computer and dont know anyone who has another mac like mine, that uses OS X 10.3.9
    Where can I download the application that I lost that will work?

    it was confusing at first, but it worked perfectly. thank you!

  • 10.4.4 won't install due to non-existant DVD Player software?

    Hello all,
    The 10.4.4 update fails on my machine with the following message:
    There were errors installing the software.
    Please try installing again.
    The installer log shows the following error.
    BomFileError 28: No space left on device - ///Applications/DVD Player.app/Contents/MacOS/DVD Player
    This is a bit odd as my machine only has a CD-RW and the DVD Player software is not installed.
    I have repaired disk permissions, restarted in Safe mode with no more success with installing.
    I also attempted in install the DVD Player software, but that gave me the error message that my machine does not have any supported DVD hardware.
    Any ideas?
    G4 733Mhz   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   CD-RW

    Hello, thanks for the reply.
    The error message implies to me that the device to
    which you were installing Mac OS X had insufficient
    space for the installation.
    How much free space do you, in fact, have on that
    device?
    42.79 Gb. So I don't think that is the problem.
    Your message is confusing.
    A CD-RW drive is capable of playing DVDs.
    However, it cannot burn to blank DVDs.
    A Combo drive can read DVD, but a standard CD-RW can't. This one certainly doesn't read them.
    Is your CD-RW drive the one that came with your G4,
    or is it a third-party model that you added?
    The one that came with it.
    What makes you think that DVD Player is not
    installed?
    It should be in the Applications folder.
    It's not in the Applications folder. I'm pretty sure the MAC OS installer only installs the DVD Player software if it detects a DVD-ROM drive. I could be wrong. I'm pretty sure I didn't manually delete it.

I cant use recovery cds because there CDS. Please Help!!!!!!!!!
    It's probable that the CD 'side' of the combo drive has failed.  That you cannot boot from the recovery CD is pretty much proof of the failure.  

  • DVD player software problem

    Hi
    I have an imac G5 and I am having problems with my DVD player software - previously it had been working OK. When I try and play a DVD it starts slowly with no sound and then stops after about 10 seconds. I have tried trashing the DVD player preferences and rebooting without success. I have also deleted and reinstalled the DVD player software from the OSX install discs using Pacifist but the result is the same. It does not appear to be a problem with the DVD drive as I can play the same DVDs on the computer using VLC software. I have checked for bad RAM using Memtest but it seems OK. Any thoughts? Is it a strange interaction between the DVD player software and the drive?

    Hi Roger and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
    Try cleaning the disks.
    If your movie stops and you see a disk error message, check the surface of the DVD for dust or scratches. You may need to clean the disc or the optical drive. Debris or residue may disrupt video quality or cause the movie to skip or stop playing. How to clean and handle CD or DVD disks
    A movie will stop playing if there is a problem sending digital data to your digital audio equipment. For example, if you are using a USB or FireWire S/PDIF converter and it becomes disconnected from your audio device, then the video stops.
    Make sure your digital audio devices are properly connected and turned on. If the video doesn't begin playing again, click the Stop button on the DVD Player Controller, then click Play again to start playing.
    If you need to switch to System Sound Output, click the Stop button on the Controller, choose DVD Player > Preferences, and click Disc Setup. Then choose System Sound Output from the "Audio output" pop-up menu.

  • Where has my DVD Player Software gone

    Folks, little trouble:
    A few months ago, I bought this new MacBook Pro (2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). The biggest change that I noted, compared to my old G4 Powerbook: My DVD Player Software is GONE.
    Ok, it's not that much trouble, I use the VLC to open my dvds, but I'm still wondering: What has happened. When I try to download the dvd player software from the apple support page, the installer says that the programme cannot be installed, because there's already a newer version. But believe me, there isn't.
    The hints from the help-application of os x didn't really give me a clou...

    The DVD Player should be in your Application Folder?
    Go to: "Apple / System Preferences / CDs & DVDs" you see the 5 "When you insert a." Go to the last one "When you insert a video DVD" and select "Open DVD Player" then insert a DVD to see if DVD player opens.
    If you do a Spotlight search for DVD Player, you should see it as:
    Top Hit (DVD Player)
    Application (DVD Player)
    System Preference (CDs & DVDs)
    Doc (com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist)
    1 or 2 Images (com.apple.DVDPlayer.tiff)
    If you park the mouse pointer on each one you will see the path to it and it's location. Maybe you moved the Doc .plist or Image .tiff? Let us know what you find?
    Also a good idea to repair disk permissions, look half way down this article:
    "Repair Disk Permissions"

  • Created disc running on macs but not on any dvd player

    Hey I am trying to make a short film that includes stills and video, I shot my footage in 108024p used after effects exported back out to FCP and then made a quicktime movie with the same settings (HDV 108024p) I used compressor to convert the footage to DVD SP-H.264 10.3Mbs.mov then made a project in DVD SP using HD DVD and NTSC settings, then tested my dvd with the simulator, worked, burned my copy and worked on my mac as well as my brothers mac though it does not work on any dvd player in the house (blueray players) does anyone have any suggestions, I included all the relevant information that I could think of. Thank you

    That's because you made an HD DVD, just as you said. You would need an HD DVD player.
    DVD players can only play DVDs, Blu-ray players can play DVDs and Blu-ray discs. Only an HD DVD player (a dead format) will play an HD DVD.
    You have to start your project over in SD mode.

  • I have a PVR which supports DLNA connected to my home network.  I want to access files on my MacBook from the PVR.  I understand that my MacBook doesn't support DLNA. Is there any 3rd party  software that I can install on my MacBook to provide DLNA?

    Hi,
    Can anyone help me please.
    I have a Personal Video Recorder (Humax HDR-1010S), which supports DLNA, connected to my home network via Wi-Fi. 
    I want to play music from iTunes and view photos from iPhoto from my MacBook (which is also connected to the home network) via the PVR / TV / Home Cinema sound system.  I understand that my MacBook (running OS X Mavericks) doesn't support DLNA server.
    Is there any 3rd party  software that I can install on my MacBook to provide DLNA server?
    Thanks,

    My recollection is that the iPhoto library has some fairly robust protections to prevent inadvertent or even deliberate changes being made that might have unwanted consequences. I'll take alook at my setup and let you know if I can see anything that might help you. Even if you get Serviio to "see" the iPhoto library, it almost ceratinly won't show the album structure and names. What I did is to export each iPhoto album to a standard folder with the appropriate folder name. These I keep on an external backup disc and Serviio can see these without trouble.

  • Any third party software that replaces SecMon and IDS-MC

    I am looking for any third party software that may replace SecMon and IDS-MC. We have had so many issues with it that it is time to find a solution by looking for another vendor to manage Cisco's NID's. If anyone has had any luck please let me know.

    CWSIM is another tool that you can use to get log messages out of sensor. for management purposes if you have a few sensors then you can use IDS device manager.

  • Is there any Mountain Lion software that can do what Appleworks could

    Is there any Mountain Lion software that can do what Appleworks could like drawing, painting, etc.?  I find that Pages is very limited compared to earlier software or am I missing something?  If Pages doesn't have this capability, what software can I get that does????

    Hi,
    Windows has a function called Narrator. Narrator reads what is displayed on the screen, including the contents of the active window, menu options, or text that has been typed. Narrator is designed to work with Notepad, WordPad, Control Panel programs, Internet Explorer,
    the Windows desktop, and some parts of Windows Setup, and may not read words aloud correctly in other programs.
    For more information, please refer the following link:
    Turn on and use Narrator
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows-xp/help/use-narrator
    In addition, based on my research, a kind of third party program named JAWS. You could know well it first, and then decide whether you want to buy it.

  • I just got rid of MacDefender, I hope.  Is there any anti malware software that is recommended?

    I just got rid of MacDefender, I hope - no thanks to Apple Care.  Does anyone know of any anti- malware software that is effective against this kind of evilness?What about MacKeeper?

    Trojan War
    If you discover a trojan program is running on your computer then look to the following information for assistance:
    1. A recent discussion on the Apple Support Communities: MacDefender Trojan.
    2. An excellent site devoted to Mac Malware: Macintosh Virus Guide
    3. Another site for removing MacDefende, et.al.: MAC Defender Rogue Anti-Virus analysis and Removal
    4. A new removal utility - MacDefenderKiller
    Removing strange software can be a task.  The following outlines various ways of uninstalling software:
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a Startup item or a Log In item.  Startup items are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the Delete [-] button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead.  Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Note that you must have this software installed before you install software you may need to uninstall.  Uninstallers won't work if you install them after the fact.  Here is a selection:
    AppZapper
    Automaton
    Hazel
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them and others at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on removing software and dealing with spyware and malware.
    After removing all the components of the software you may have to restart the computer to fully disable the software.  This will be the case when removing software that has installed a daemon.  After the daemon has been removed you need to restart the computer to stop the daemon.  Alternatively, you can kill the daemon process using the Terminal application or Activity Monitor.

  • Has anyone used an app with the Maverick software to burn iPhoto slideshows to DVD disks that will play on any DVD player?

    Has anyone used an app with the new Maverick software to burn iphoto slide shows to DVDs that will play on a standard DVD player?  This probably cannot be a demo app in that the amout of photos on the slideshows is large.  
    Thank you,
    Jim

    Export the slideshow from iPhoto, that makes a movie of it.
    Do you want to use this DVD in a domestic DVD player? If so, then the disk will have to be 'authored' to make it the correct form for that. If you have iDVD then that's the app you use. However, iDVD is no longer developed or distributed by Apple. You may be able to get it on an old iLIfe install disk.
    Other options:
    Burn: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/21992/burn
    Toast: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/6351/toast-titanium
    But there are lots of others too. Search on the App Store or MacUpdate

  • I have a macbook pro OSX 10.5.8. My DVD player software 5.0.3 plays all DVDs without a problem. When I load a DVD from Netflix it shows that "the supported disc not available" on the blank, black screen?

    I contacted Netflix. They are unfamiliar with this problem. Anyone have any experience with this problem

    I have the same problem. I put a Dexter dvd from Netflix in my Macbook pro 0sx leopard. Nothing happened. Dvd player did not recognize the disk. To check whether the Dexter dvd was damaged, I put the dvd in my PC and it worked without any problems. I then put another dvd disk (Kubrick's Shining) in my Macbook and it worked fine, so there must be something in the Dexter dvd that messes up the Macbook. I've seen other posts specifically citing that the Dexter dvds do not work on the Macbook. This looks to me like a Showtime problem.
