Mac Media Player, famous for its perfect HD playback throughout the world, is also an excellent Free DVD Player. Featuring output up to 1080p, DTS5.1 audio system, ultrafast speed, and handy operation, Macgo DVD Player software can give you the best multimedia enjoyment.

I have inherited an iMac from my parents and am using it for my daughter. We cannot play DVD's on it at all. I tried using an external DVD player (and it reads the disc) but it won't play. I actually think I may be missing the Apple DVD Player software as I cannot find it anywhere. I do not have the original discs (parents can't find them). I have searched the internet for a copy of the software but can only find 3.1 (which says my hardware is wrong) and 2.7 which says my OS is wrong.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?? Thank you SO much. I have downloaded and installed the VLC application. The thing is, now I can get it running (am still using the external DVD player as the internal one just spits my disk out) but it gets to the first frame of the movie and just sits there forever. Is this a streaming issue? I tried to play with the options in the streaming preferences, but it made no difference.

Have you any idea what I can do to get this working. Or do I just have an old chugging Mac that can't cope?? USB and FireWire are very different in how they operate (it's not just a matter of the connector's shape), so there is no such adapter.

There's nothing you can do with that external drive, in terms of playing DVD movies from it. If you are handy with taking things apart (and putting them back together), you can probably replace the internal drive, which sounds like it is a CD or CDRW drive (it can't read DVDs), with a DVD-capable drive. There are take-apart guides online, such as (please read it carefully and make sure it is something you can do before trying it) Getting to the optical drive is beyond normal user access, so it is not a simple procedure. I have not done it myself, but an optical drive like this will probably work (and it's a super drive).

Or you can get an external drive that uses FireWire. Thanks for all your advice. You will be surprised to know that I do understand the difference between Firewire and USB (which makes my original thought about the cable and port size sound really stupid I know!! My brain is just too tired at the moment!!) Anyway, I'm relatively good at installing stuff as I've done some before, so I will keep those instructions in mind. In the meantime, I think I might just search out a player with a Firewire connection (at both ends!!

П™‚ ) Many thanks for the links and all the info. I really appreciate your help. Just one note to add. Although FireWire is definitely fast enough, 700 MHz G4 should be fast enough, and that iMac's graphics hardware should be good enough, it is possible that some combinations of those factors will still not produce good results when playing movie DVDs. The internal optical drive connection is the fastest most efficient connection, and other stock iMac G4 models came with DVD-capable internal drive (and they played DVD movies), so replacing the internal optical drive would be more likely to give you what you want (although an external FireWire drive will probably work too).

This mac and cheese recipe is spiced with jalapeno peppers and hot sauce! I made this with only a pound and a half of pasta instead of two pounds and increased the milk to three cups to make it more creamy. Made this tonight - was pretty good, but I wish I'd read the other reviews. Thought the 1/2 C milk wasn't enough but.
