DVD Player Controler window

My DVD controller seems to drop off the screen when switching from my laptop display to an external display because of the change in resolution (downwards).
How can I get the window to re-appear? I've tried hiding and showing it, and window / zoom but nothing seems to work...
TIA

Try choosing Hide Info from the Window menu.

Can't install the Toshiba HD DVD Player for Windows 7 - 64 Bit

Notebook: Toshiba Qosmio G40 with windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
I can't install the HD DVD Player Driver from Toshiba for Windows 7 - 64 Bit 4.60.03 from 30/11/09 !
The installation will be cancel with information that the software can not be installed on this system.

Problem is that this file you have downloaded is not the player but just an update.
Usually you should be able to install player designed for Vista and later install this upgrade but, as I can see, Toshiba doesnt offer HD DVD player for Vista 64-bit.
I presume your notebook was delivered with Vista 32-bit only. Am I right about that?

Dvd studio pro: DVDs won't work on DVD player and windows computer

Hi
I have burnt some dvds on DVD Studio Pro I checked they were set to SD and PAL and have played them on my MAC and DVD player no problem but now I am hearing back from my client that they tried playing them on their windows computer and laptop and their DVD player and it isn't working what could be the reason for this?
From Mike

You can see if they have another software player available. Usually VLC is a good option. Windows player can be a bit all over the place depending on patches of the OS and other items. I have encountered some strange things, including people claiming that DVDs I have authored were doing things that had nothing to do with the DVD (beyond the scope of what a DVD can do, etc.)
When you say DVD Player, does this mean they are also trying to play it in a DVD Player (real player and not in computer?) How did you burn the DVD? Straight from DVD SP? Check first play settings and other items?
These are some of the first things I would be starting with, particularly if real DVD players (not in computers) are concerned. It also can be something as small as dirt or scratches on the DVD itself. Some machines can be better at compensating than others are.

DVD Player Info Window

I was wondering if anyone knew how to make the info window go away when using the DVD Player? I am talking about the little black box that tells you title, and elapsed and remaining time, etc. I turned it on trying to see what it was and now all I can do is switch between the standard window and the wide info window.

DVD Player Chapters Window - Thumbnail issue

Hi there, strangely enough the Chapters window in DVD Player isnt displaying the right thumbnail... it usually is one chapter off. no matter what DVD i use, this same thing happens. i've been using DVD Player for over 1 year and a half and i never had any problem with Chapters window until a few weeks ago. is anyone else having the same problem?

The DVD drive can easily be replaced.

Easy breezy. Watch the first two steps. Much easier than posting hyperbolic rants.

DVD Player controls

I am a Union stage hand and I do a lot of video projection work.
Recently I was setting up a DVD player to feed a projector onto a 40' screen, but the manufacturer decided that users are all morons therefore it always shows On Screen Programming (Play, Stop, etc) whether I want it or not. (Any 'feature' of hardware and software that refuses to do what I want it do to and ONLY does what it thinks I want it to do, I call that Micro$oft.)
Anyway, since using the DVD hardware players I had access to was out of the question, we are using Macs and DVD Player because I can send a clean video-only (no On Screen Moron graphics) to the projector.
However, DVD Player is incredibly frustrating to cue up in a professional setting. My question is this:
In DVD player 4.0, is there a single-frame-advance in reverse? When in Pause, the right arrow key will frame advance, but the left-arrow key does nothing (why on earth not???).
(And to the Leopard design team, make a single-frame-reverse function, or be labeled Micro$oft by us professionals!!!)

That's what I thought. It's amazing that Apple's DVD Player doesn't have this very basic functionality. I downloaded VCL's DVD Player and while it's more robust, I am having difficulties getting their hot-keys and/or functionality to work for stepping forward or backwards.
Any suggestions of another stable (free or for sale) DVD Players?

Looking for a DVD Player with same functionality as CyberPro Power DVD

I have just converted from PC to Mac, and love it, but have a special requirement and need some guidance.
I work in TV and need to be able to preview footage shot on site that has been converted onto a DVD. On my old PC using Power DVD, after hitting 'Play' I can fast forward and fast reverse, and increase the speed of FF or FR in small increments (up to 32 times normal speed) using the scroll wheel on my mouse. That gives me a lot of control as I search through countless hours of footage to shot list, and saves heaps of time.
With the standard Mac DVD Player, I can hold down the FF and FR buttons to get a slight increase in speed, but it is still far too slow and clumsy for what I need.
VLC was recommended, but when I hold down the FF and FR it scrolls in minutes, whereas I need to scroll in frames.
Does anybody know of a high quality DVD Player with the scrolling features similar to Power DVD that I can purchase?

Have you tried, +DVD Player>Controls>Scan Rate+ ?

Subtitles in Apple DVD player won't go away

This is not a Tiger problem per se- more of an Apple DVD player problem. I couldn't find a forum for the DVD app. If I'm in the wrong place, I'd be happy to post in the proper place if someone could point me in the right direction.
So I'm running os 10.4.7 on an 800 mhz iMac (flatscreen, "lamp" model), my version of the Apple DVD player is 4.6.5, framework version 4.6.6.
Here's the problem- whenever I watch a movie (this seems to happen only with American DVDs), these QT/OS X looking (beautiful crisp white letters on a highly transparent smokey grey field) subtitles appear, they are independent of the subtitles invoked by the subtitle button in the player- I can toggle through all the languages, they work fine, but the QT/OS X looking subtitles never go away- I'll have two sets running simultaneously. (Or just the QT/OSX one, when I set subtitles to "off")
While they are gorgeous and superior to the "other" set of subtitles (which I CAN control), in both visual appeal and intelligent placement, I would like to be able to turn them off.
I thought a handicap access feature in the System Preferences might have been involved, but it doesn't seem so.
Can someone help me turn this off? Incidentally, these phantom permanent subtitles weren't always here, though I can't really say when they appeared.
Thanks in advance for the help,
Nosloj2400

Do you have "Closed Captioning" (DVD Player "Controls" menu) turned on? You may have turned it on accidentally via Option-Cmd-T.

DVD Player for X61

Can someone tell me where can I download DVD Player for my X61. I like Intervideo but need to pay. My X61 does not have DVD Player. Window Media Player cannot play some of my DVD format.

> Can someone tell me where can I download DVD Player for my X61.
Download and install the K-Lite Codec Mega Pac. It includes both a video player and dozens of codecs. It will play virtually any video file.
Best of all, it's free.

DVD Player Black Border all aound widescreen image....???

I have a new 17" powerbook running Tiger...and have been playing some DVDs...and the DVD player now puts a 1 1/2" black border all around the widescreen image. This is new to me and I've tried all of the obvious preference options...and switching between different screen sizes (command-0, command-1 and command-2....) and no success.
Has anyone else had this same problem? Any solutions?
Thanks.

This is not a problem, that's a specific configuration of some DVDs, it happens beucause some DVDs to fit in a 4:3 (fullscreen) TVs put the black borders on the top and botton. When you try to view these movies in a widescreen there will be black borders on the right and left because the format with the original top and botton border is 640 x480 (4:3).
To fix that you just have to select the Otion "Video Zoom" from the Apple DVD Player menu "Window":
There you can strech the movie the way you like to fill your widescreen.

Burning ipod videos to play on dvd player

does anybody know a way or a free program i can download to burn the videos on my ipod to a dvd so i can watch it on a dvd player?
Windows XP

Are you referring to purchased videos from the iTunes music store? If so, they cannot be burned to a DVD that will play in a DVD player.
They can be burned to a data DVD which will play on computers however.

No Audio from DVD Player

Mac Pro
OS X 10.4.8 - QuickTime 7.1.3 -
Having a strange problem when trying to play DVD's.
DVD Player plays the images but I get no audio.
I've fiddled with the DVD's language options and
the DVD player controls but still nothing.
So far I've had this problem with all twelve DVD's I experimented with.
CD's, QuickTime, MP3, etc. files play fine - no problems so the problem seems to be DVD Player.
Thanks

I am having the same problem with my G5. It just started today. The most recent update I have done was yesterday to the latest version of iTunes. I have also updated my Powerbook but it hasn't seemed to have affected it yet. I have tried playing DVD's in the VLC media player and at first I get no audio as well but if I change the audio setting from "built-in (encoded)" to just "built-in" it pays back the audio fine. Any ideas?

DVD player has two control windows, can't press any buttons.

The internal disk drive on my Late 2009 Mac mini has been non-functional for longer than I've had it. However, I've never really needed it until recently. But when I tried using my new external drive (which runs perfectly and is most certainly not the source of the problem) I encounter one of the strangest glitches I've ever had using Macs!
The DVD player uses the old (brushed metal, 10.6-style) control panel in the bottom-right corner... Until I turn on full-screen. Then the GUI changes to a glazed black appearance (10.7-style) and all of the controls are unresponsive. The features can be triggered by the hotkeys (space bar to play/pause, etc.) but none of the actual buttons can be clicked on. The interface still fades in and out with mouse movement though.
But it starts getting really strange when I exit fullscreen again. Now the brushed metal interface has odd white corners as if the alpha channel is being ignored! https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14403620/brokeninterface.tiff And what's more, though I was unable to reproduce this after a few attempts, once it actually brought the normal control window into fullscreen! There were then two contol interfaces, neither of them could be pressed (though the normal one works outside of fullscreen) and the normal one could still be dragged around the screen yet wouldn't fade away when idle!
Now please note that I am running OS-X 10.7.5 upgraded from 10.6 in the past and the DVD player may not have been original to this computer. I am also using SIMBL and Maximizer and have both Quicktime 7 and Quicktime X installed.
There are thus many things which could be causing the issue, but I have no idea what actually is.
Any insight would be appreciated. I can provide more information if nessesary.

Stan -
Thanks again for the simple but valuable tip.
I'm just going to repeat the relevant sections from my previous post with the screenshots this time:
Below you'll see a snip of how my current folder structure appears. It's identical to yours, except there are no button files in the General Folder. Since you were kind enough to include a file name, I did a search on that specific one and it's nowhere to be found on my hard drive. Hmmm....
I've seen others remark on how... "challenging".... Adobe's instructions can be sometime. I'll admit to having the same feeling when I was trying to download and install all the content files and the 7-zip stuff. Is the answer somehow that I screwed up that? Note the 7-zip folder right above the Adobe folder. Here's a screen shot of that expanded folder contents:
Does that look like you think it should? Have I not installed or extracted something correctly?
Finally, the only other thing I can think of to give you as much info as you might need is to include a screenshot of where the "Functional Content" stuff got saved. Adobe's instructions about this (if I recall correctly) were that it did NOT have to be installed anywhere specific, but you then had to go into Encore (& Premiere) and through preferences point to this stuff, which I believe I did. But I don't see any button type files in these anyway.
Other thoughts or advice?
Thanks!

ONLY SMALL IMAGE - in OS DVD PLAYER WINDOW

Hi
WHEN I USE THE OS dvd player sometimes it only is playing the
dvd back as a small window with a big black boarder .
If i check this by playing the dvd on my stand-alone dvd player/tv this does not happen.
Could someone explain how i can change this re- occuring situation when playing dvds on my mac, so i can watch the film at full window pane size ?
Thanks for your time.

didier:
I don't do much with DVDs on my mac, however I just popped one in and played with the controls. I find that Command + 3 gives a large image. Command + 0 toggles between full screen and smaller screen (as in View menu.
Failing that my next guess will be to try the Preferences. Go to Home > Library > Preferences. Locate com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist and drag it to the desktop for now. Restart your computer. It will create a new preference file. Try your DVD and see how it works. If it is OK, go ahead and trash the preference on the desktop.
Post back with your progress.
Good luck.

Burned a disc in Encore, plays fine on DVD player, but not in Windows Media

Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone else has had playback issues in Windows Media Player with DVDs burned in Encore. We recently produced a 14 minute film that plays skip free and glitch free on any standalone DVD player we test it in, but when we test it in a PC using Windows Media Player at 12 minutes in the picture starts glitching, random artifacts appear distorting what we see. It doesn't skip, but it does introduce these glitches and artifacts all the way until the end.
We thought it might be a good idea to play the DVD on a different DVD program, so we used PowerDVD and it plays PERFECTLY. So, that means it's a Windows Media Player problem. We tested the DVD on multiple PCs using Windows Media Player and the same thing happens. We even tested other copies of the DVD and the SAME THING HAPPENS!
What's most frustrating is that we can't control how people are going to view the film. We've already had our client come back to us after watching it on his PC using Media Player and ask us why the "movie was skipping." Obviously, it wasn't skipping, just introducing those weird glitches. Is there something I can do in Encore to ensure playbackability in Windows Media Player?
Thanks,
Steven

Windows Media Player has undergone some changes over the last several versions. For a period, there was no DVD play at all. It was rumored that MS had removed that, to keep burned pirated commercial DVD's from playing. It is likely that what functions that have been put back into WMP are causing the issues. The issues that you describe sound a bit like some form of attempt to impose "copy protection," onto burned discs. [Just a thought on my part, as I have no facts to back that up.]
Have not tried any DVD in WMP 12, so have no direct help there.
As you point out, there is no control as to what software players people will likely use. Not sure how to handle that from your end. Maybe others will have definitive answers, regarding WMP 12, and your exact problem. I would also *guess* that the same would likely happen with any burned DVD, regardless of the software used. Maybe test Burn to Folder and use freeware ImgBurn to experiment?
Good luck,
Hunt
