DVD player vs Front Row

I've always played DVDs on my Mac Mini through Front Row but have recently been having some audio dropout issues. I was searching around here and just read that Front Row plays DVDs through QuickTime, whereas the Mac DVD Player is different.
Is there a preference from the forum between using Front Row or the DVD Player? Could using Front Row be causing some of these audio issues I'm having?
(I posted something similar on the Mac Mini discussion thread, but thought this would be a better place, so please excuse the double post)

Oh yeah, and I can still view the DVD in Front Row with no problems.

  • Playing DVD's in Front Row

    Was trying to get DVD movies to play in Front Row using a external firewire superdrive. They will play using the internal superdrive in my MacBook but, not the external one. It won't give me the option with the external drive. Does anyone know if this can be done or if I just have to use DVD player?
    Thanks,
    Barry

    There is no way to do this with Front Row. However, this can be done with the regular DVD Player application. The on screen "controller" for the DVD Player can give you direct access to different audio channels or video angles.

  • DVD's in front row

    I have set my system preferences for Front Row to launch automatically when a dvd movie is inserted into the drive. Sometimes the movie will play. However at other times all I have is a full dark screen with the dvd being non-responsive. This has occurred with more than a couple of dvd's.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Yes, Front Row handles DVDs fine. If Front Row is already open, a new section called DVDs appears after the Mac reads and mounts the disc. If you insert the DVD and let it be read and mounted first the new DVD section will be there when you open Front Row.

  • Can I Keep DVD PLAYER in Front?

    Is there any way I can keep my DVD Player window in the front at all times as I work on other pages and visit websites?
    This would be very convenient.
    Thanks.

    If you play DVDs with VLC
    <http://www.videolan.org>
    you can use "Float on Top" from the "Video" menu.

  • DVD player crashes Mac

    Trying to play a DVD on my Mac causes it to freeze/crash. Dock is unresponsive can't cmd + Q or even force quit. I can move my cursor around the screen, but nothing is click-able. No spinning coloured wheel either. Have to hold power off and restart. First time my Mac has actually crashed...
    Happened three times
    1) started full screen crashed after a few seconds
    2) started in windowed mode crashed when i tried to resize said window.
    3) was playing fine for four minutes then froze as described above
    Why is this? The DVD is brand new, and clean of any scratches or dirt.
    Thanks for any help
    btw, my specs are;
    Silver Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard
    2.4ghz
    4GB RAM
    I'm not sure of the graphics card, but it's good, Can run all applications fine.

    I'm also having the exact same problem. For me the time to freeze varies and it's only after I start playing the DVD. Navigating through the DVD menus seems to work OK, I only have trouble when playing content.
    It typically freezes within about 5 or 10 seconds but can go a little longer. The sound continues for a few seconds after the video has stopped, but after that I have to hold the power button to force a restart.
    It doesn't matter if I'm using DVD Player or Front Row. I have noticed that the screen briefly (VERY briefly) flickers once every few seconds when it's frozen. This seems to be independent of whether the player is in fullscreen or windowed mode.
    I've found that it only affects me on a couple of music DVDs as well; I think this is because these ones are multi-region. DVDs encoded for a single region seem to play just fine (as long as they match the drive's region setting, of course!).
    I have definitely played one of these music DVDs before but I don't remember when so it may or may not have been before I upgraded to Snow Leopard. I see that the 10.6.1 update included a fix for DVD playback... maybe that fix broke something else?

  • 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?

  • Front Row Automatically Switch to 2nd Display

    It's a gripe of mine that Front Row couldn't automagically be sent to a 2nd monitor in Tiger; is this fixed in Leopard?
    Basically, I have a 19" Samsung LCD plugged in via DVI to my MacBook Pro, and I'd like to have Front Row on it, but the main menu/dock on my MacBook Pro's screen. I know I can open up Displays in System Preferences and rearrange them to get Front Row on the external, but this seems to be an annoying thing to deal with. Is there any other way?

    Well, after many hours of research, I found that I could design some AppleScripts or programs to help do this, but (a) I don't have the time to invest in that, and (b) I will simply resort to DVD player. Front Row is nice, but without the ability to go through a 2nd monitor, it's pretty much useless to me, because there's no way I'll sit back from my computer and use the Apple Remote to navigate a movie on a 15" screen, when I have a 22" screen right next to it.

  • Region Free DVD Player

    Is there any way to make the DVD Drive in my iMac region free? I have looked through some google searches and have not had much success. I know I could just rip it with HandBrake or MacTheRipper and then watch it but that is a lot of work just to watch a movie. I also have VLC on my computer and that works. But is there any way to permanently change the DVD Drive's firmware to region 0 (all) so that I could watch the DVD in DVD Player or Front Row?
    Also would this be illegal and would it void my AppleCare warranty?
    Info:
    MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-846:
    Firmware Revision: FB2U
    Interconnect: ATAPI
    Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
    Cache: 2048 KB
    Reads DVD: Yes
    CD-Write: -R, -RW
    DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW, +R DL
    Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes
    Burn Underrun Protection DVD: Yes
    Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, DVD-DAO
    Media: No

    The short answer is no. This is a longstanding issue with these drives and a very common complaint.
    You need to purchase an external drive. Don't forget to submit a feature request for the region free drives (or, at the very least, the ability to swap out the drive with one that is region-free).
    Region codes haven't been valid for years. It's a pretty serious issue. I believe Apple even sells region-locked drives in Australia and New Zealand (where region coding is an illegal trade practice).

  • Dvd-player trouble.

    When i'm watching a movie suddenly there is a freeze on the screen from about 1 sec and then the movie plays on. I've tried to use a cleaning disc but that didn't helped. What can I do more to solve this problem?

    What are you using to play the dvds?
    DVD Player? Front Row? VLC Media Player?
    Try the superdrive update and let me know how you get on:

  • Does Front Row DVD player have any options and preferences?

    Are there any preference options for watching DVD's in Front Row?
    I have been watching DVD's on my Mac through the DVD Player which has lots of useful options like Zoom and De-Interlace etc. But DVD player leaves the mouse pointer on screen and Front Row seems to be a better way to watch films.
    My problem with Front Row is when I play a DVD like West Wing it needs to be zoomed to fill my 17inch screen and it needs to be played De-Interlaced. I can't find any way to access options in Front Row DVD player to do this. With no mouse pointer I can't get a drop down menu so is there a short cut key that would give me some options?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the forums!
    But DVD player leaves the mouse pointer on screen
    Not if you drag it to the bottom of the screen.
    Front Row seems to be a better way to watch films.
    Debatable for the reasons you mention!
    I much prefer VLC to DVD Player:
    You should definitely consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

  • Front Row pauses during DVD play

    I've played at least 5 (3 of which were brand new) different DVD's in Front Row that randomly pause during play. After a few seconds the movie continues to play. I took the computer into the store to have the optical drive replaced, but it keeps happening. I tried just using DVD player and the same thing happens. Since the drive has been replaced, now I get "skipping over damaged area" when it pauses (only in DVD player). These are BRAND NEW dvds, there's no way they can be damaged already. Any ideas, suggestions, anything???

    That's interesting. Since it doesn't seem to be a hardware problem, you might use the Accounts System Preferences to create a brand new user. Log out and log in as the new user. Does the DVD Player application give you the same trouble when logged in as the new user? If not, then a preference or setting your original user has must be interfering. Or some kind of preference file corruption. If the new user does have the same trouble, it might be time to run the Disk Utility and make sure your permissions are repaired and the disk is repaired. If that still doesn't help, it may be time to do an "archive and install" of Mac OS X to get a good copy of the DVD Player application back...

  • Front Row & DVD close captioning

    Will Front Row allow use of close captioning for dvds that do not have subtitles?

    I tried this with .srt and Quicktime .txt files, and with movies in .m4v and .avi format. I tried them in iTunes, Quicktime Player, and Front Row. In none of them did the subtitles show up by putting them in the same folder. I downloaded what seems to be the SRT import bundle you're referring to from here:
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/25631
    I've also tried opening the videos in Quicktime Pro and adding the text track, but then I can't seem to toggle it on and off in iTunes or Front Row. If I open it in Quicktime Player, I can toggle subtitles on and off by going to the Movie Properties and toggling the checkbox for the Text Track, but it seems like I should be able to get it to actually recognize that text track as a track for subtitles/CC.
    I'm sorry if this is moving a bit away from the original question about DVDs and more into the arena of closed captioning for video files in general; I'll create a new thread if need be.

  • Front Row: DVD audio Controls

    Is there way to scroll through various audio channels while playing DVD's in front row? For example I want to jump from the regular audio channel to the Director's Commentary...is there a short cut to do this?

  • Front Row - DVD won't play

    I can't get Front Row to play DVD, I would only get "DVD Loading" then a blank screen. Any fix?

    Can you play the movie with the DVD Player application? Is the Mac asking you to choose a region code before it can play a DVD movie? Front Row won't display this dialog but the DVD Player should.

  • Using Airport Express to listen DVD via Front Row and Optical Out

    I want to find out if this is possible:
    I currently have Macbook Black Core 2 Duo. I enjoy watching DVDs using Front Row. The DVI video cable goes to the projector which is at the back of my room. Since the Macbook is close to the projector, I have to run optical audio cable to the 5.1 Dolby Digital home theater sound system at the front of my room.
    I am interested in the AirPort Express because it can play iTunes wirelessly and use optical output to hook up the stereo system.
    The question I want to know is if it's possible to connect Airport Express optical output into my Dobly Digital sound system so I can watch and listen DVD movies via Front Row? If not, any other alternatives? When searching through topics, it seems the users said Rogue Amoeba has a lag issue. Even I am not sure it can do optical output capabilites. Any thoughts. Thanks!

    To stream non-iTunes music to the AirPort Express (AX) you need Airfoil.
