Mac Pro 2014 DVD Player -70017 error: VLC OpenGL is not supported

I am setting up my new 2014 Mac Pro from a mid 2010 Mac Pro via VNC (Finder/Go/Connect to Server) as I only have the Apple 30" Cinema display which is connected to my 2010.  I was encountering problems:
1) DVD player would never start, giving the error "DVD Player encountered a system error Error: -70017."  If you hit OK the message dismisses and DVD player exits.  There is a CNET article that states a -70012 error can happen if you don't have an internal drive.  This is, of course, true for the 2014 Mac Pro.
2) VLC gives the error when opening a VIDEO_TS file on disk  "OpenGL acceleration is not supported on your Mac.  Your Mac lacks Quartz Extreme acceleration ....".  It does play videos, but they play extremely slow.
After a hour on the line with Apple Support we determined that the problem is VNC .  VNC connections disable some drivers.  I connected the keyboard and monitor directly to the 2014 Mac Pro, and both programs worked perfectly.  With the programs working I then moved the monitor back to the 2010 and tried to resume playback using VNC.  The errors returned.
Just wanted to pass this info along in case someone else encounters the same issue.

Same problem here but a slight twist.
2011 iMac running Mountain Lion 10.8.3 with DVD player 5500.38.2
2009 Mac Mini running Mountain Lion 10.8.3 with DVD player 5500.38.2
DVD rips with RipIt, stored on a NAS.
iMac will play the rips through DVD player. 
Mac Mini will not play rips through DVD player, but will play through VLC.
Mac Mini previously worked, but not sure what version OSX it was running then, could have been pre-Mountain Lion.
Curious about what's causing this.  It's a bit frustrating!

  • Another dvd player 70017 error - but the drive works fine???

    Mac Mini early 2009 - 2.0ghz, 3gb ram, 10.6.2.
    I am having a regular problem with the dvd player; I usually get the message "There was an initialization error. A valid video device could not be found for playback. Error 70017" when I start the program.
    The DVD drive works wonderfully for reading, burning, etc. If I restart the computer the dvd player usually works for watching movies...if I use Toast, disk utility, or any other dvd related program, the player will now work again. I have tried the pacifist method to reinstall and have deleted every dvd player file I can find.... The same happens when I reset pram.
    Any advice? Doesn't seem to be hardware, but I'd be glad to test that as well.
    What's going on here? This is frustrating...I can use any number of other programs to watch movies, but it sure is nice to be able to use dvd player to see which title is playing, etc...plus I just want it to work - after all, isn't that the hook?
    Thanks for any advice!

    Two things, have you run the Hardware Test on your Install DVD? Have you tried resetting the Systems Management Controller?

  • 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.

  • Random Playback glitches with Premiere CC 7.2.2 on Mac Pro 2014

    I am having random playback glitches on my Mac Pro 2014. I can't figure out the cause since its only in the playback and export of the footage. The source footage is glitch free.
    I have noticed these two warnings when loading Premiere and Encode.
    [cl_invalid_operation] OpenCL Error : Failed to retrieve device information! Invalid enumerated value!
    Are the glitches due to this OpenCL Error and how can I fix it?

    Ya, I'm very confused that this glitch is so below the radar. I would have imagine the editors would be up in arms. Unless they found some solution for it that's out there somewhere.
    Because paying so much for a system which can't be fully utilized in a production is definitely cause for concern.

  • Mac pro 2014 JUDDER

    Hi, I've already bought a new Mac Pro 2014 (6 core, 64 gb Ram, 2 Fire Pro D700, plus 24tb thunderbolt 2 Pegasus 8 bay Raid) as I'm editing a documentary series for the Spanish National Broadcasting Television (TVE). We shoot in 4k with Both Canon C500 (with external Odyssey recorder) and Canon Eos 1DC. As it is for Spanish TV it was recorded in 25p (1/50 shutter). The point is that whichever file I try to play (straight in quicktime player , or in any NLE as FCPX or Premiere or avid MC7, and not only 4k files, but 1080 proxy's that are simultaneously recorded into the C500, they all show Judder on play as soon as the take starts a pan, a tilt or a zoom in. I have changed my monitors ( 4 different ones as Nec Spectraview, Dell U2713H, etc) refreshing rate,from native 60 mhz to 50 and no difference. The point is that footage that as it had special lighting we recorded at 1/60 shutter doesn't show that artifact, nor any ntsc tryouts recorded with  another camera (sony EX1 1080 30p) neither. Files formats are prores 444 4k for those coming from the oddyssey recorder, mxf mov 4k from the EOS 1 DC, and mxf mov 1080 hd from the proxy recorder in the Canon C500. SO, what  I am supposed to do for watching properly 25p recorded footage?

  • DVD Player "nilP" ERROR  Please help!!!

    Ok, I used to be able to play DVD's on my mac mini g4 dvd player application. It is not something that i do very often but i was trying to proof an IDVD i made for a friend and i got "Dvd player encountered a nilP error" I contacted applecare for help and after some phone troubleshooting and system utilties use they determied that I needed to have my logic board and optical drive replaced. So the tech came and did all that toady, and IT"S STILL NOT WORKING!!!! Please can anyone help me i have looked all over the forums and can't find anything. I think it has to do with one of the recent updates as that was the only thing i have done other than install some demo games. I currently have a Mac Mini G4 1.5 Ghz with 512 MB DDR SDRAM.

    Hmmm, this says you can import from any analog site, and it addresses importing into iMovie:

  • HT1338 I have HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276nw and trying to install the driver on my mac pro; it gives me the error message that the driver is not available.

    Hi,
    I have HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276nw and trying to install the driver on my mac pro; it gives me the error message that the driver is not available.

    Typically this is caused by the internal list of compatible devices in the Mac being out of date.  All you should need to do is disconnect the printer from the Mac, run Apple Software Update (even if there are no updates, the list will still update), restart the Mac, connect the printer to the Mac, and add the print queue.  If that doesn't work, let me know.
    I am a printer tech for HP.

  • Mac Pro 2014 & Samsung Legacy TV

    Try to make this short.
    My system Rotel recievor, Mac Mini (os 10.9.3) and Seamsung Lecacy (65" 4K) works fine.
    Replace the Mac Mini with Mac Pro (2014) and no video.
    Bi-pass Rotel and video works.  
    Interestingly the "Display" screen using OS 10.9.3 on the Mac Mini allows refresh rates to be set but same screen and OS on Mac Pro does not allow refresh to be adjusted).  Same OS, different settings allowed.
    Perhaps the Mac Pro video card simply will not "handshake" through the Rotel?
    Apple Level 2 support has no suggestions.
    Do I have any alternative other than to wait for Apple to someday update their OS to support Samsung Legacy?
    thanks

    To get a picture on a Mac, the display must respond to an EDID query from the Mac with its name and capabilities. These queries happen only at certain times, and if there is no response, the screen stays dark.
    The query is sent:
    • At Startup
    • on use of the Option-( Detect Displays ) button in System Preferences > Displays
    • When the Mac-end of the cable is changed (inserted or removed)
    • On Wake from Sleep
    A display that is set to a different port, or talking through a receiver set to a different port, will not answer the query and will stay dark.
    I am presuming you are trying to use HDMI cables for this display. That is difficult to get right for displays over 1920 by 1080p, but your complaint was 'No display', not too low a resolution.

  • Premiere Pro CC and the New Mac Pro (2014)

    I'm expecting delivery soon of a new Mac Pro, nicely loaded, which I purchased mainly because of all the work I do with video. Yet, I read in a review that Adobe Premiere Pro isn't optimized to take advantage of the new Mac Pro, won't run faster, and I'm better off using Apple's Final Cut.
    1. Is this true?; and
    2. If so, will Premiere Pro be updated any time soon to run best on a 2014 Mac Pro?
    My new Mac Pro will have the following configuration:
    3.5GHz 6-core with 12MB of L3 cache
    32GB (4x8GB) of 1866MHz DDR3 ECC
    1TB PCIe-based flash storage
    Dual AMD FirePro D700 GPUs with 6GB of GDDR5 VRAM each

    My main problem is that when i export using gpu open gl it crashes hard boot the mac pro. A 3 min timeline with 4k footage n a bunch of color grading.  I get lucky if the timeline is shorter. But i think it is a gpu issue n my mac must be fixed. Currently under apple tech support. N my case is unique. No one has had the same issue and that makes it harder for me to figure the isse and to apple figure the issue.
    If i export using software only mercury then the export goes smoothe no mattrr how long. But that defeata the point of owning a mac pro with 2 GPUs

    I have had my 12 core 2014 Mac Pro for a couple of weeks now, and I'm not very impressed with Premiere CC performance with 4K R3D on a 1920 x 1080 timeline.
    I understand that there may be an update soon that will take adantage of the CPU's and GPU's when it comes to the complex task of de-bayering the R3D footage, but it's just not there now.
    I get similar playback performance to what I experienced on my 09 Mac Pro tower.
    Any insights on getting better playback performance in this scenario would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • Mac Pro 2014 USB Keyboard not working for log-in.

    I have a Mac Pro 2014 with two thunderbolt displays and an apple USB keyboard.  Whenever I boot up the computer the keyboard doesn't seem to work at first.  Often I get hung up on the log-in screen pushing keys to no effect until the bluetooth keyboard dialog comes up.  Then after that sits fruitlessly looking for a non-existent keyboard for about 30sec the USB keyboard will start to work.  In total I'd say this delays logging in by about a minute.  During this whole time the USB mouse and Wacom tablet work.  After logging in everything works fine.
    Also this might be related, if the computer goes to sleep it can take several attempts to wake it up before I'll get a login screen.

    Mine was also fresh out of the box. My reseller in Iceland could verify this and this was the solution. I first thought it was the Icelandic keyboard. Reported it as bug.

    I am a Video editor and graphic designer. i want to know how far can i expand the new mac pro 2014.. which parts on the machine are upgradable.

    It is actually "Late 2013" in Apple parlance. Most use "nMP" for New Mac Pro" or you could call it a 6,1
    There is no sign or confirmation that the Dxxx can be upgraded unless from another nMP, doubt there will be upgrades while SSD etc are and Apple shows how on product support page how to remove and install memory and the SSD device.
