In the thread "PLEASE HELP- region codes" in "Discussions > iDVD > iDVD4 and earlier", using Panther I reported " I inserted a different region code disc, got the message that I only have 3 changes left, then the error -70001. "
After upgrading to Tiger last August I reported " just upgraded to Tiger 10.4.0 and the problem was still there.
Then I installed the software updates to 10.4.2 and DVDPlayer 4.6: I am now allowed to change the region code."
Howwever, last month I had the problem again, possibly after installing 10.4.3: "3 changes left" and "error code -70001" on inserting a disc with a different region code.
The solution I found was to use VLC, a DVD player which ignores the region code, rather than the mac os X DVDPlayer.

  • Dvd player error code -70001

    I tried to play the Charmed season six DVD on my Mac, but it showed that the supported disc is not available. Othert than that, the screen stay black all the time, and it showed dvd player encounters a system error -70001. So could somebody tell me what I should do in order to solve this problem?

  • DVD Player error -69902?

    I've successfully played DVDs on my iMac (24" 2.4 GHz Aluminum) -- Front Row works like a charm! However, I've recently encountered a DVD that has issues with my computer:
    A couple of weeks ago I received the Beatles' "Help!" two-DVD set in timely fashion after ordering it through Amazon.ca. Unfortunately, although the second disc works perfectly on my computer (a 2007 Apple iMac 24" 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo with 2 GB of RAM), the first disc will not play past the FBI warning and the opening page (where Play, Subtitles, Settings, Chapters is located). Whether I use either Front Row or DVD player, the result is the same: when I insert the disc into my computer, I am presented with the error message "Skipping Over Damaged Area". If, in DVD Player, I click on "Title" in order to change chapters, an error message pops up informing me "DVD Player encountered a system error. Error -69902". And in DVD Player, I am informed that this disc contains only one chapter. In any case, when I'm on the Help! opening page & I click on "Play" (in either DVD player or Front Row), nothing happens. No movie. The music keeps looping on the opening page, but not much more than that.
    Out of curiosity, I tried playing this same disc on a standalone Toshiba DVD player hooked up to my home TV, and amazingly, the disc plays fine!
    After emailing Amazon, I was instructed to return the DVD for a replacement, which arrived in the mail today. Imagine my surprise when the replacement displayed the same error messages! Before I return this disc for a refund, maybe someone can fill me in: what is DVD Player error -69902?

  • How do I get past "can't find valid dvd player" error?

    This is regarding a G4 powermac running Tiger 10.4.3
    My Sony dual layer DRX-720UL/T seems to work fine with DVD-ROM content. My kids use it for DVD-ROM games and I had no problem installing Tiger. Problem comes in when I open "DVD player" and get a "Can't find valid dvd player," error. They're connected via Firewire 400, and I've tried the USB link, just to see, but the same error comes up. I'm fairly certain that I viewed a DVD before upgrading to Tiger. The Sony is supposed to be fully mac compatiable, and even comes with Toast light 6. Again all seems to be well except for the fact that DVD player won't allow me to view a NTSC DVD. No matter how many I try.

    What drive was in this G4 prior?
    If you did not have a DVD drive, you need to use Pacifist to extract & install DVD Player.app; downloading or drag&drop won't work.
    Also, Sony drives are probably the worst when it comes to compatability; one specific model may work fine, and others not. This should be less of an issue in Tiger, but only if the problem is other than the optical drive firmware, about which you can do nothing (on a Mac), unlike Pioneer & NEC drives that have mac-based flashers available.
    If DVD Player was installed previously, based on having a DVD drive prior to Tiger install, you may want to try running the 10.4.3 Combo updater over your existing install.

  • Apple DVD player / region code

    I apologize if this is the incorrect forum for this question, but I could not find a forum specific to the Apple DVD player.
    Several months ago my internal DVD drive died and I replaced with an external LaCie firewire drive which I purchased from Apple. Until today all I have used it for is burning disks, and for that it has worked flawlessly. Today, however, I needed to use it to view a DVD. When I inserted the DVD i got a pop-up box which stated "Since this is the first use of a DVD disc, the drive region must be initialized before playing." A drop-down box gives me the options of regions 1-6, and 8. When selecting region 1, or any region for that matter, I get an error message which states "There was a problem changing the drive region code," and it gives me an error code of 10007. If I click Cancel the disk ejects and Apple DVD player pops up. Thinking there might be a problem with this disc I have tried several dvd movies. I do not get the pop-up box with the region code choices, instead Apple DVD player pops up, but the movie will not play. On screen it says "Supported Disc not available."
    I tried the original disk in my G4 PowerBook and it plays fine.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The LaCie drivers haven't changed since 2008 or before. Traditionally, computer DVD drives ignore region codes (a region code is a feature which should be illegal, IMO). So, unless your computer is new, I'm guessing the region code block is programmed into 'DVD Player'.
    I've a LaCie external DVD drive, and I found the free MPlayer produces a much better image than 'DVD Player'. Haven't tried VLC in several years, but it's considered my many the best.

    VLC

    Be sure the external drive is being accessed. (You might want to stock up on such software while that for Tiger is still available.)

  • Error when burning DVD RW (Error Code 0x8002006E)

    Works with DVD +R, -R, CDR... but it wont burn DVD+RW for some reason
    I had this problem 3 years ago when it refused to burn CDs, and I had my ODD replaced with one of these
    MATSHITA DVD-R   UJ-857E:
      Firmware Revision:          ZF1E
      Interconnect:          ATAPI
      Burn Support:          Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
      Cache:          2048 KB
      Reads DVD:          Yes
      CD-Write:          -R, -RW
      DVD-Write:          -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW
      Write Strategies:          CD-TAO, CD-SAO, DVD-DAO
      Media:          Insert media and refresh to show available burn speeds
    So here I am again having the same problem - 'burning the disk failed because an unexpected error occured (Error Code 0x8002006E)
    I tried both burning from Finder and disk utiilty. I tried quickly erasing the data on it, which was nothingnd when I tried to burn something it threw up this error -  'The disk can't be burned, because the devide failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media' (their bad grammer not mine)
    So what is this a software problem or another faulty ODD?
    I ran a hardware test recently and no problems were identified.

    I just tried it again using a different account, same problem. I was burning DVD+Rs already today, then I went out and bought a packet of discs from tesco DVD+RW and they wont burn no matter which way I try it. I remember having this problem with Tesco CDRs 3 years ago when I sent my macbook in for repair, but I think I have used tesco discs since thren without problems. I've had trouble on two occasions reading music CDs as well + the drive is sluggish and noisy when inserting/ejecting discs.
    Finding a lot of threads on this and not really much in the way of solutions. At best I've been able to ascertain that the problem is probably software related owing to the error code.
    I don't know what else to try. I hope tesco take back this stack of discs that's probably got nothing wrong with them, I doubt Apple will refund me.
    This computer has just turned out to be an endless source of problems and headaches.

  • DVD Player error: not compatible with OS

    Trying to fix a coworkers G5. She has 10.5.8 running, and can't play any DVDs. She is up to date on all software updates.
    When I went to the DVD player settings, I couldn't choose "DVD Player". When I tried to open the application it told me that DVD Player is not compatible with this version of the OS X.
    Can I reinstall that application? If so, where do I find it? Is it on the system installation disk? Do I need to do a reinstall of OS X?? Any other options?
    Thanks for any help given.

  • Apple DVD PLAYER ERROR

    After installing 10.5, opening Dvd player i received this error
    There was an initialization error
    A valid video device could not be found for playback [-70017]
    I've searched all over the forums with no solutions.
    i know its not a big problem with leopard but any workarounds would be apprec.
    The apple dvd player is version 5.0

    now I do not know if this is just me but I have had issues with the DVD player
    I played a DVD from a one on the older iDVD software (before iLife 08)
    the DVD would work in Tiger fine
    I downloaded Leopard, now i get a message if i select "play from beginning of the disk" "skipping over damaged areas"
    this also caused the DVD player to not play on my mac and the DVD player locked up
    I then tried selecting "begin from last time played and everything worked fine"
    the DVD player did not lock up
    this is definitely I feel a bug but i wonder if anyone else has had the similar issue

  • DVD player error

    I have a new 15" PowerBook.
    The DVD player is not working.
    I get the following message pop up:
    There was an initialization error
    Error: -43
    Apple support say it is a software error and that I should wipe everything and reload.
    I don't really want to go through all that and was just checking to see if anyone else had experienced this and maybe had a quick fix.

    Im having problems with DVD player 4.6.5 on a Powerbook g4 1.5ghz 750 ram, os10.4.4
    dvds start to play with a black screen and then freeze the whole system - even alt-apple-escape to force quit out of dvd player
    takes ages to respond
    I went from os 10.3.3 to 10.4.0 (after a total disk erase, zeroed data) and did the update online straight after to 10.4.4
    I also have 10.4.4 on a dual 450 g4 which I recently updated and it has none of the same problems
    Im amazed that a solution to this is not easier to find on apples site - its obvious that it is happening to several people
    Has anyone found a solution???
    Toast still seems to work fine so I think perhaps its something to do with the way the new os/dvd player decodes the video off the dvd - perhaps there is some incompatibility between hardware and software in this area?
    I wonder from what version of DVD player this started happening - I had version 4.0 working fine when I was running os10.3.3
    Does anyone know if quicktime is involved at all in the playing of dvds?? and if that might be causing a problem. I noticed a quicktime installer that goes a few versions backwards from 7.0.3 or 4 (never a good sign) but no explanation to say why on the download page
    Powerbook g4 1.5ghz 750 ram (and while Im thinking of ram..... Im really annoyed at Apple for putting 2 x 256 ram chips in the powerbook g4. When I ordered a 512 ram chip along with the laptop I assumed it would take me up to 1gig but no - when I got the machine and opened it up I found out instead of apple putting one 512 chip inside that I would have to take one of the two 256 chips out in order to get the 512 one in!!!!! so I only got an extra 256meg for the price of 512 - and a 1gig chip costs 300euro!!! )

  • How do I fix a DVD system error code 69889?

    I found a partial answer from 2008, which tells the user to delete files from Library/ Application Support  /DVD Player /Settings
    This was a partial answer, because my DVD player went from not being able to play the disc
    to playing the first two chapters of the first disc of season five of Smallville.
    All the rest of the disc in this series plays fine.
    I am using a 15 inch MacBook Pro
    OS 10.6.8
    Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Model ID MacBookPro5,3
    If anyone can help me bring this disc back to life. It will be well appreciated.

  • DVD Player error 69889,  Mountain Lion 10.8.5

    Suddenly my MacBook Pro has stopped reading some DVDs.   The DVD loads and then stops with a blank screen and error message 69889.  I have seen prior posts that advise deleting specific settings in the Application Support folder. Unfortunately, I cannot locate the DVD player folder.  IT does not appear as a subfolder of the Application Support folder.  
    I download VLC DVD player and the DVDs work fine with it.   I would like to fix the problem with the OSX DVD player.  Any suggestions on the exact path the the DVD Player/Settings folder?
    Thanks

    Might be corrupted DVD Player preferences...
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/LIbrary/Preferences/com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist
    Click Go then move the com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist file to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac.

  • Flash Player Error Codes?

    Does anyone know where a list of the Error Codes for Flash Player is? I found the list for Flash Lite (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/314/314d9136.html).
    I have Flash Player running standalone on Linux and is crashing/segfualt and it displays error code 4,5 or 6. Trying to figure out what these mean.
    Thanks,
    Sean

    Thanks for the Live Docs link. I found the error codes for
    the FL2.0 player, which simply states "N/A" for error code 9. I was
    wondering if people have encountered it before as well and how to
    work around it.

  • Any way to resolve DVD player error 69902?

    I was playing a brand new DVD and half way through the DVD it started skipping and the DVD player showed error: -69902? Is there a actually bug fix rather than just using VLC?

    According to another user, this error denotes a faulty disk. In other words, you might want to ask the manufacturer for a replacement. It's best to contact the mfr because they have no doubt had exposure to the same error, and realize it's an effect of faulty manufacturing.

  • MacBook DVD player error scratched CD

    I bought a DVD film and while watching halfway through the show the player stopped and reported an error. CD may be scratched, it said. I returned the dvd where I bought it from, and purchased the same movie from another source.
    Same problem. In between these I watched several movies and this problem only happened twice. Restarted the MacBook and it continued from where it stoped. But NOT with the movie I replaced.
    Any suggestion? No, no, no, I got rid of all of my VCR's and the players too.
    By the way it is a Roger Moore movie named GOLD. Beware :-))
    I would like to finish it one day.

    Version 2.7 of the DVD Player appears to be the correct version for your configuration; any computer which can use the 2.0 beta which came with some 8.6 versions can use version 2.7. No iMac is compatible with version 1.x of the Apple DVD Player.

  • Attempting to burn cd or DVD receive Error code Ox80020025.

    WIth a Mac Pro using 1o.6, I attempt to burn a CD or a DVD and receive an error code 0x80020025.
    At the same time, the burner begins to burn the disc.
    Also, at random times, the message to burn the disc in the disc drive or eject it pops up. This happens with only no disc in either drive.
    What is the error code, and how do I stop it happening and what is causing the random disc message to pop up?
    Mac Pro 1,1, 10.6.8, 10 GB memory, Lite on DVD and Sony Blue ray.

    Hi Mike,
    First of all you could try the automated fixit for your Operating System from Microsoft on the link below.
    Windows 7
    Vista
    If the above fix hasn't worked, try the following.  From the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager.  Click to open the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.  Right click on the first channel and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.  When uninstalled repeat the process for each channel.  Also if an ATA controller is listed, right click and uninstall this.  Again, do not delete drivers if asked.
    Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives.  If your optical drive appears here, right click and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.
    Restart your PC and let Windows re-install these devices.  Give it a minute or two, then see if the drive is working.
    If the above has not resolved the problem, carry on with the process below.
    First run the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below again.
    Windows 7
    Vista
    Next, from the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager.  Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives.  If your optical drive appears here, right click and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.  When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ).  Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.
    Let me know how it goes.
    Best wishes,
    DP-K
