MAC DVD player stops networks connections...no answers in Safari.

This is a constant and repetitive error.
Everytime that I play the any DVD in the DVD player (application version 5.0.3, system version 5.0.6) Safari goes down,. there is no answser if I continue browsing in Safari.I am connected via Airport, and there are no other users browsing -access by ethernet card-
If I remove the DVD and quit DVD player my network connections are restarted, and safari responds ok.
So I can not browse in safari or access internet if I am runing the MAC DVD Player...
amazing, no?

I have the same problem.
Apparently, the "Digital Out" channel cannot be shared by multiple running applications, the first one starting takes it and keeps it. You have to stop it to allow an other (single) application to use it instead.
To me it is a bug : the front most application should take the Digital Out channel, and release it when an other one becomes front most, but this bug has apparently being going on for a long time, and Apple does not seem interested in its correction.
Poor HTMac users...

  • HT2499 how to get mac dvd player not to play all and stop at each title?

    how to get mac dvd player not to play all and stop at each title

    Play all chapters, i mean.
    I have a DVD and I would like to just play a chapter, and discuss it, without the next chapter automatically starting. Usually DVD players have the "Play all" you can turn off and on...but I don't see it with the Mac player.
    OS 10.4.

    Thanks so much!

  • "Not permitted" access to DVD menu once DVD starts playing --Mac DVD player

    Hi,
    DVD works fine on standalone DVD player, but when played on an internal Mac DVD player, it won't allow me to stop the disc and go to the menu once it has started playing. It says "Not Permitted." I've tried a couple different macs.
    I made my video in FCP5 with chapters and exported as MPEG2 via compressor to DSP 3.0.2. I need the chapters to work correctly on a Mac DVD player as it is an instructional video which will accompany all the Mac Media Carts that have been purchased for our school district -- it has to play correctly on the included laptops.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    When you press STOP in the DVD Player, the DVD stops, no longer running. That's the reason that when you try to press MENU appears the Not Permited message: no way to go to the menu because the DVD is not playing.
    That's the normal behaviour of the DVD Player. I think that's the way that thinks works in every DVD player . . . "I think".

  • Works in Simulator, doesn't work in Mac DVD player

    Never seen this before--the Simulator actually works fine, all links and menu calls are flawless. The Video TS in the Mac DVD player, however, menu calls and a couple of links do not work.
    The dvd should be fine, I burned one yesterday and all of this stuff was fine on the disk, just had to go back and make a couple of changes today.
    Anyone seen this before?

    I have seen this kind of thing happen before. You should definately try deleting and old builds when you compile. A couple times i had to delete the parse files and let the project reparse to get the dvd to behave properly after the build.
    sometimes i could only get the project to work by deleting the offending menus and rebuilding and relinking them.

  • Airplay Mirroring and the Mac DVD player not working

    Has anyone else experienced issues trying to airplay mirror the mac dvd player?  When I attempt to play a dvd while airplay mirroring is turned on the dvd player window just shows the checkerboard pattern and no video (this is on both the laptop screen and the tv screen).  If I take airplay mirroring off the dvd displays properly.

    I had this same problem, and i read that it has to do with DRM. Even DVDs you make your self wont work because the DRM is set on the DVD player it self. You can use VLC and it should work, it worked with me. Anyways good luck.

  • IDVD slideshows crash Mac DVD Player

    So, I created my movie in iMovie, exported it to iDVD 8, and then I added two slideshows.
    One slideshow has 110 pictures and the other slideshow has about 12 pictures.
    Both slideshows play perfectly in iDVD preview mode and on my Panasonic DVD player.
    But, when I try to play either slideshow on my MacBook Pro, both slideshows crash the Mac DVD Player.
    I'm very frustrated with this. You would think that a DVD I create on my Mac can at least play on my Mac!
    Any help will be most appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    It's nice to know that someone is seeing a similar problem...misery
    loves company!
    I've been creating slideshows in iDVD by dragging and dropping pictures
    from iphoto, and the slideshows work great in the iDVD preview, on
    my Panasonic DVD player, and my Playstation 2. But, the DVD crashes
    the Mac DVD Player EVERY time. I've have problems with the DVD Player
    in previous release, so this wouldn't surprise me. But, it would be nice
    if the player worked with DVDs created by Apple's own software.

    Hi there, I've just installed iLife 08 on my iMac 20" 2.16, OS 10.4.10 with all
    the updates through software update and I get the same problem before even
    burning a disc! Any slideshow exported to iDVD from iPhoto makes the programme
    bug out when you use the iDVD preview. Same photos dragged into iDVD to make the
    slideshow there work fine. Also tried exporting quicktime from iPhoto and
    importing into iDVD that way - also causes the crash (I don't even get a 'quit
    unexpectedly' message) - there's obviously some problem with quicktime.

  • OS 10.6.8 dvd player stopped working

    OS 10.6.8 dvd player stopped working (stutters - no sound) when I am in my usual log-in but does work in my alternate (checking) log-in, disk permissions repair did not help. I trashed a dvd.plist file from my users/Library/Preferences folder but no change. Any suggestions most welcome.

    Thanks for reminding me about VLC Player. I had an old version that I occasionally used for AVIs and such but I hadn't used it for quite awhile. Of course, it works perfectly so I'll take your advice and (sort of) forget about the Apple DVD Player - although I hate having a glitch that I can't get to the bottom of.
    For example, removing both of those items made no difference.
    Re: the two accounts when in safe mode, DVD Player doesn't work at all in safe mode...
    (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564)
    so that didn't get me any farther.
    No doubt when I eventually upgrade to Lion the DVD Problem will sort itself out. Until then, I have good ole' VLC. I appreciate the help.

  • Digital noise in Logic after using Mac DVD player

    I have Logic Pro 7.2, a dual 1.8 G5 with OS 10.4.7, 3GB of RAM, and loads of hard drive space. Every time I open a song in Logic after having watched a DVD using the Mac DVD player, all the instruments, both midi and audio instruments, just sound like static. If I trash all the Logic preferences and start over it clears it up but who wants to reset their preferences every time. Thanks, Steve.

    Thanks to the two who have replied so far to my question. I'll check that out. By the way, I'm new to this, and I've got 67 messages from "Apple Discussions Subscriptions" since I posted this question. Can someone tell me how not to receive those messages. Thanks again, Steve.

  • Mac DVD player plays all DVDs but this one

    A commercial DVD from Netflix will play on my tv, my MacBook Pro, and my old power Mac, but not on my intel Mac.  All other DVDs play on this Mac without a hitch.  Netflix has sent me 2 copies of this and neither works, yet all others work.  There are two discs in the series and neither will work.  They stop after the introduction and warning from the FBI.  They then freeze the DVD player and I have to force quit the DVD Player.  When they freeze there is a green bar at the bottom of the screen.  I have a separate optical drive attached and even when I use that to play the DVD the result is exactly the same.

    In addition, I have repaired permissions, but nothing lets this get past the 26 second part.  That's where both of the discs freeze on my iMac.  Again the discs play fine on my dvd player attached to the tv, plays fine on my MacBook Pro and plays fine on my G5 iMac.

  • DVD Player Recognition and Connection

    When I insert a DVD into the built-in Toshiba DVD Player in my laptop, a message comes up saying that the drive is not found or recognized.  It is not listed in the device manager listing in the Control Panel either.  How do I get this drive recognized and/or connected so it functions.  Thanks, JTC

    Hi Ktydd,
    I'm also using Vista for the system.  I did resolve the problem after sending the inquiry.  I used the "ACTION" settings on the DVD player itself and set the drive to "D".  I also ran the antivirus scan and maintenance actions allowed by McAfee.  After rebooting twice, the drive was recognized and it is working fine now.  Hope this helps.

  • What formats can the Mac DVD player App support/play?

    I have a list of movies that I imported from my friend, and, I'm having a hard time trying to figure out which formats will work and which wont--totally not tech savvy enough to figure this one out.

    Unless the movies are on a DVD disk, DVD Player is not your App. Quicktime is it. You should be able to simply double-click the file to open with QT Player - the Mac knows how! - ÇÇÇ

  • DVD button /chatper won't work on mac DVD player

This button works fine when i play it on both a regular dvd player and on a pc dvd player but not on a mac... Have you ever heard of a dvd working different only on a mac??
    Thanks

    Not sure if this is a model or OS issue. I produced a DVD-ROM title for Mac and PC in Macromedia Director in 2003. It's always worked fine but when I tried it recently all the invisible files could not be found. I have 500 copies of the darned thing. Are these toast now? Haven't tested the disc on a PC yet.
    Are the invisible files really gone? Or is the OS just not seeing them?
    Mount a DVD and in a terminal enter
    cd /Volumes
    ls
    and you should see the mounted DVD and its name.
    then enter
    cd DVD_NAME (whatever the name is)
    once inside the DVD, you can
    ls -al
    and
    cd to any directory of your choosing
    to see if the files are missing.
    My guess? They are all still there but invisible to Finder.
    I find it hard to believe all those files on all those DVDs vanished.

  • DVD Player stops

    The DVD player on my MacBook Pro (Mavericks) stops playing whenever I plug into my SMART Board (interactive white board).  All I get is a black screen.  If I unplug the board it starts playing on the computer screen but it will not project.  The computer projects normally using PowerPoint.  Any ideas?

    Up Grading to 10.9.2 resolved this issue.

  • HP G71 Notebook pc, DVD player stopped on only one DVD

    I was previewing a 60 min. DVD (made 2007) to watch in full later. DVD playing well.   I wanted to skip ahead.  I either paused or stopped the video,  Went to DVD Menu and chose either "main menu" or "root title menu".  No chapters titles or any other info appeared.  Screen went gray.  Tried to just resume play; DVD would not.  Tried to start beginning again; would not do so.   Ejected and reinserted DVD; no change.  Inserted an altogether different video to see if it was the DVD or the DVD player issue, and the different DVD worked fine.  It's almost as if I've erased or damaged somehow the DVD that I had been watching successfully up until I tried to skip ahead.  I have often been able to preview DVD's via the main menu or root menu feature without a problem.  Computer is working fine, and DVD player in computer works fine except on the one DVD, on which nothing now appears.  Is there a simple fix for this?  Did I damage the DVD?  Thanks.  

    Hello @SU-ZQ, welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you were having an issue with 1 dvd not playing correctly. I will try to assist you with this.
    A few questions to start:
    What's the operating system in the notebook?
    What program do you use to watch DVD's with?
    As you've tested and it works with another dvd, it is odd that the one just stopped. Unless you were in the subfolders of the dvd though you shouldn't have been able to delete the content, though accidents can happen.
    I would test that specific dvd in another source (dvd player, ps3 etc.) to see if it still works at all. If it does, then try another player (VLC, Windows Media, etc.) something that you weren't using, there could be a conflict with that player.
    The only thoughts I have to it just not playing, would be some sort of corruption, a codex issue, or accidental deletion of files.
    Also, test with more then one to make sure everything else is working correctly (though I'm sure you have already).
    Let me know how everything goes.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
