DVD Player Gives initialization Error

Please forgive me if this problem has been presented before, but a quick search for a definitive fix came up empty...
Haven't plugged a DVD in lately and today, when I inserted a DVD and DVD Player (v4.6.5) launched, I got the following message:
There was an initialization error.
A valid video device could not be found for playback. [-70017].
I tried re-installing and got the same message
Can anyone prescribe a fix?
Thanks in advance?

Hi, billywa. Welcome to the Discussions.
DVD Player error code -70017 also has the description "A graphics device is not available." This could imply some issue with either the graphics card or the display. Is your display connected properly? Are you trying to use the Mac Mini in a home theater?
Good luck!

DVD Player encountered an error it could not recover from

When I try to play a disk that has been burned on a VCR/DVD combo machine, I very often get an error message that says:
"DVD Player encountered an error it could not recover from
There was an error reading from disc. It might be scratched or dirty. [-36]"
and then it quits. Sometimes I have been able to play a disc, after several tries, as it errors later and later, but also sometimes not.

When the player quit yesterday one time it brought up the report to Apple window, so I got the error code. Here it is:

DVDPlayer won't play DVDs - DVD player gives error ??-10960

Whenever I inserted a disc into my superdrive on my iMac... a dialogue box would pop up with the message:
??-10960
It seems that this message was coming from the apple DVD Player application. It didn't bother me as I would use VLC to play the DVD. (However, my DVD drive was set to Region 1 and I wanted to play a Region 2 DVD so I needed the apple DVD Player to work to so I could change the region on the DVD).
When I used Spotlight to find DVD Player I noticed the icon was not the proper icon but rather a generic icon that looked like a ruler, pencil and brush. It was as if DVD Player was corrupt or not recognized.
Solution Summary
To remove the 10960 error, re-install apple DVD Player from Max OS X Install Disc (I suggest using Pacifist to perform the re-install).
Solution Detail
I re-installed DVD Player from the Mac OS X Install Disc. There is no need to reinstall the whole OS.
There is a great tool called Pacifist (http://www.charlessoft.com/).
Install Pacifist.
Insert your Mac OS X Install Disc into your DVD drive.
Start the Pacifist application.
Select the "Open Apple Install Discs" option in Pacifist... let Pacifist load all the packages.
Once Pacifist has finished loading all the packages from the Mac OS X Install Disc - find the DVD Player.app.
Select the DVD Player.app file.
Click the Install option in Pacifist (top left).
Once Pacifist has finished DVD Player should now be re-installed. If you search for DVD Player in Spotlight DVD Player should now have it's proper icon and start without the error message :
??-10960
Good Luck!

I've marked this post as answered since the post also contains the solution. I posted it as there were no clear solutions to the DVD Player application 10960 problem.

In DVD Player, What is Error -36 and how do I fix it?

I bought a new superdrive dvd player/burner (for DVD -R, -RW) and installed it in my Pismo. Reason I got it, I was having trouble viewing DVDs I'd compressed from a regular commercial DVD to 4.5GB DVD -Rs using the application DVD2oneX2. They play fine on my wife's 12" aluminum with original superdrive.
But I'm getting the same error I got with the previous drive. "DVD Player has encountered an insurmountable error--the disk may be scratched or dirty -36." It kind of hiccups, I get the message, and DVD Player closes. These are brand new DVD -R. Furthermore, when I reinsert the disk it will often play, starting from that very same start. Sometimes I have to reinsert it four or five times, but eventually it plays the part it balked at before.
I've just done a clean re-install on my hard drive, and repaired permissions (there was initially an error in -r, -rw permissions that is now corrected). But it's the same problem every time: the DVD runs for twenty minutes or so, then quits. And since this was the same with the previous drive, I'm thinking it's something in my Pismo--hopefully something fixable, as I mainly got the new drive so I could burn and watch series of lectures that I borrow from my university library (you can only keep them out for two days.)
One other problem: nobody carries DL DVD-Rs. Imation makes them, but nobody has them in stock.
Thanks for any help you can give,
Giles

By itself, the question has nothing to do with
any Apple Support Community topic, so far.
Could you tell visitors some information about your Apple device, the OS (X?)
and the web browser version in use? Is the browser up-to-date? Have you
tried a different web browser to access the site, to see if that'd work? There
may be settings, certificates, or other details in your software, or on that site.
{Is your computer an older PowerPC G3/G4 or G5? This area concerns these
models of older iMac build architecture; or so the general expectation goes...}
Good luck & happy computing!

DVD player -10960 Install Error after 10.6.8 Download

After downloading OS X 10.6.8 to Snow Leopard, my DVD player no longer works. I get a -10960 Error installation error. The DVD player is v.5.4 running on MacBook Pro 2GHz (older 2010). Can I download 10.6.8 to my external hard drive and reinstall to MacBook? Would that even have the DVD player? Would I have to erase and install. I do have a retail version of OS X 10.6.3. Or, is there an Apple DVD stand alone download specific to 10.6.8? Have not seen this discussed in other forums. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you repair permissions and restarted your computer afterwards after you installed 10.6.8? If so, try the following.....
Disconnect all peripherals from your computer.
Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select Disk Utility.
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
Restart your computer when done.
Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963 and restart your computer.
Another thing you can try is custom installing. You can custom install the DVD application directly from your install disc by following the onscreen custom install instructions. Or reinstall the os by installing the 10.6.8 combo updater directly from Apple's download site.

When i go to burn a dvd, it gives an error message "menu duration exceeds 15 minutes." how can i fix this??

When I go to burn a dvd, imovie displays an error message, "menu duration exceeds 15 minutes. How do I fix?

You may have too many chapters (scene selections), or perhaps one or more of the menus are looping for too long. Each menu in its standard form generally runs for no more than 30 seconds before repeating. In any of the menus have you inserted your own music that runs for a much longer duration? If so, using the Inspector, reduce the music time to 30 seconds (there is a slider you can adjust).
Regarding chapters - how many do you have in the project? You may need to delete some markers in your iMovie project. In most of the iDVD themes each scene selection page allows up to 6 scenes. So, for example, if you have 50 scenes marked, the theme would require 9 scene selection pages. I really don't know what the maximum is, but clearly you've run over the 15 minute limit for the iDVD menus. It may be a combination of too many chapters and music looping for too long on one or more of the menus.

UPK - Player gives HTTP Error 403 error

I have created a animation using UPK. A player.exe was generated. It was playing fine on my local drive but when I post it to shared interface it gives me this error -
Contact localhost:3282 home
HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden
Internet Explorer
Have anyone of you encountered this? Please help.
Thanks

Jay,
You should use this URL:
https://ipaddress/certsrv/mscep
If you try to get the cert from an http address, you will get an error. You should be using https. Also, the mscep.dll should not be part of the URL.
You can test this connectivity from any browser by putting that URL in the sddress bar. You should see a page similar to this:

Hi,
Have you tried to remove Upper/lower filters? How to do it I took from Toshiba support:
*Follow these instructions for clearing the Upper/Lower Filters:*
Click on Start --> Run --> and type in 'regedit' followed by the enter key
Expand the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" key (looks like a folder) by double clicking it (or clicking the "+" next to it.)
Expand the "SYSTEM" Key
Expand the "CurrentControlSet" Key
Expand the "Control" Key
Expand the "Class" Key
Please look for a key containing the following string of letter and numbers:{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
High light this key by left clicking once on it
On the right hand side you are looking for "UpperFilters" and "LowerFilters" under the "Name" column, once you find these please delete them by right clicking on them and choosing "delete"
Please exit the registry by clicking on the "X" in the top right hand corner of the screen
Reboot your computer

DVD player stopped playing movies, gives message

I'm a first time user and hope I'm doing this correctly. I had to restart my computer in "safe mode" once and since then (maybe coincidentally) the DVD player gives this message "Modules needed for this application are missing. If restarting the application does not fix the problem please reinstall the application. Can anyone tell me what it means, why it's showing up now (and won't play DVDs) and how to fix it? I'm not a skilled computer person.

Try downloading and installing the VLC Media Player. It's free and can play DVD's along with just about any other media file. It is fully self contained so even if there was a problem with your other DVD player software VLC would still work. If that doesn't play DVD movies either then you are 99.9% certain it's a hardware failure, more than likely the drive itself as Jerry said.

If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Applescripting to resize DVD Player window.

I have a malfunctioning DVD player game that won't display the subtitles correctly unless they are forced to be redrawn. The simplest way to do this is to resize the window slightly. Obviously since that's a pain to do constantly manually I tried to script this with a simple repeat. My script works fine for TextEdit or FireFox but I get an error full of garbley-gook when I run it on DVD Player:
tell application "DVD Player"
set bounds of front window to {0, 0, 1320, 1047}
delay 0.5
set bounds of front window to {0, 0, 1325, 1051}
end tell
error "DVD Player got an error: UNîp¢$8Ôˇøcepscahp (the forum is editing most of the error out) number -1731
Any ideas?

I launched VLC (which I already have), browsed the VIDEO_TS folder and clicked Play. Immediately VLC started playing in the correct 16:9 window and the video looked correct.
It seems this must be a woeful discrepancy in Apple's own DVD Player, which I certainly wouldn't have expected. I can use VLC for all similar videos from now on, though it doesn't give me the menu burned by the LG as DVD Player does. However, that's perhaps a small price to pay.

Burned DVD won't play on DVD player

I have downloaded a 22 minute video that I would like to burn to a DVD to play in my DVD player. I have attempted on both DVD-R and DVD+R. They burn to the disc but will not play on the DVD player. The error message states that playback may not be available on this disk. I have used the windows support search to problem solve on my own but have had no success. I have ensured that I am selecting the CD/DVD player option to utilize the Mastered format. I have gone into my option and have no filters on. I have the video format on NTSC since I am from Pennsylvania/US. I have not tried to burn it on slow or medium speed because it does burn to the DVD without problem it just won't playback on the DVD player. What do you recommend as my next course of action for troubleshooting.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I would suspect that the video is not DVD Mpeg2 compliant. Depending on the DVD player, some will play other formats, also. If there are no video authoring programs on the computer, try Windows Movie Maker (free) to see if the video needs too be converted to DVD Mpeg2 standards.

DVD Player rejects clean burned DVD on Mac Pro, G5 and G4

I have a disc from a colleague, standard NTSC which displays the following once the menu screen appears (and hangs afterwards immediately):
"DVD Player encountered an error it could not recover from. There was an error reading from disc. It might be scratched or dirty. [-36]"
Has anyone else encountered this with clean media? Thanks.

HI Ken,
Repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

DVD Player do not play DVD[VOB] files when on a network storage

Hi, since installing ML [10.8] [clean install] DVD Player return an error "The media type is not supported" msg when I try to play a movie stored on a readynas NV+ network storage. The RN is accessible in finder and all movies are there, there is no username & password required to access the storage which is on public. DVDplayer is set to accept incoming files through the firewall. The file was playing normally before when the mac was on Lion [10.7] with same configuration. If I copy the file to the computer HDD, no problem. I am computer literate but not an expert. Any tip is welcome, thank you.

I have exactly the same issue on my mid 2011 MacMini which I recently upgraded to ML. I have connected an external DVD drive to check whether the country code had to be changed to overcome it. The Apple DVD-Player played the DVD fine, I noticed from the "DVD information" menu that the country code had it fact changed (4 changes left). However the next time I tried to play a file from my NAS (External HDD connected to TC) the Apple DVD-Player showed the same error message "The media type is not supported". My network setting are unchanged vs. before when I was able to play such VOB files from the NAS, my end 2006 iMac running on Lion does also play those files. What's wrong here?

DVD doesn't works in a dvd player

Hello
I have make dual layer dvd using DVD STUDIO PRO 4. in my MAC PRO is works very nice but when i try to see the movie in a DVD PLAYER doesn't (error display the player).
But if i make the same project in IDVD works in my MAC PRO and a DVD PLAYER.
What should be?
i do this:
1-In FCP i export to Quick time self container
2-In Compressor i used setting: DVD best Quality 120 minutes, Dolby Digital Professional 2.0, MPEG-2 5.0 Mbps 2-pass
3-In DVD STUDIO PRO 4: Import assets and etc so burn
Everything works nice . i insert the dvd in my mac pro and it works nice but in a dvd player doesn't works

You may have made a HD DVD, which will not play on styandard DVD Players.
To see if the DVD you burned is HD or not is to look at what is on it in the Finder - if there is something else other than a AUDIO_TS, VIDEO_TS and possibly a Data folder, you made a HD DVD. If you see a HDDVD_TS folder it means that your project was set up for HD and not SD - in DVD SP prefs you can set default project - SD or HD. I leave as default as SD. If you switch a project from SD to HD (or created a HD Project) you cannot switch back.
Check that first.

Problems playing DVD with DVD player

I have my original superdrive. Today, we were playing a DVD we had burned with iDVD. It was playing just fine until it got to a certain point and then it kept freezing up. I got an error message stating: DVD Player encountered an error it could not recover from. There was an error reading from the disc. It might be scratched or dirty. [-36] But, the disc is not dirty and it plays just fine in my son's computer. I have used a Maxll Lens Cleaner a half dozen times and it still hangs up when it gets to this point on the DVD. Anyone have any suggestions as to how I can solve this problem?????

Defects on/in DVDs can be unseen by the eye but the
drive's laser can have problems reading the "bad"
areas. I've seen this problem from Mac to Mac (or
PC). What about other discs? Same problem?
Regards,
Yes, same thing with another disc the other day, just I was told that it was a defective disc. But, considering the same thing happened today with another disc and the disc plays just fine in my son's emac, I think the problem is my super drive.
