DVD Player FS Patch 1.3


Have you ever encountered an error message when attempting to play a DVD-Video using Apple's DVD Player? Actually, this error message is not always telling you the truth: It also comes up for just the reason that the DVD is totally error-free but has been mounted by a File System that has not been made by Apple.

Have you ever encountered an error message when attempting to play a DVD-Video using Apple's DVD Player?

Actually, this error message is not always telling you the truth: It also comes up for just the reason that the DVD is totally error-free but has been mounted by a File System that has not been made by Apple. Such candidates are Adaptec's free UDF Volume Access, DirectCD and Joliet Volume Access.

Now, how can this be solved? There's two ways:
• Either you make sure that the DVD is mounted by either Apple's UDF Volume Access or by their ISO 9660 File Access extension.
However, there are DVD-Videos out there that do not even work with Apple's UDF extension as of this date (for example, Apple's UDF Volume Access 1.5.2 can not properly access the DVD movie "The Matrix", mastered by "PCFriendly" (go figure!).
• Or you simply make Apple's DVD Player accept non-Apple File Systems, too. If you like to live on the wild side, then modify Apple's DVD Player with a patch program of mine I created for this task: DVD Player FS Patch. That way, you do not have to bother any more which File System mounted the disc.

Important note for Mac OS 9.1 (and later) users: The Extensions folder of your system folder may now contain more than one file named DVD Navigation Manager: One ending in "NV", another ending in "ATI". This patch program, however, does not deal with this correctly. It will try to patch both, but will save them both under the same name, overwriting one of them. The work-around is to move one or both of them to separate folders. By using the patch program, each file will get one patched new file in their respective folders. Then make sure only one of the patched files remains in your DVD Player or Extensions folder: the one that was made from the original that identifies your graphics card manufacturer (ATI or NVIDIA).

What's New:
  • Does now also take care of the new DVD Player 2.x that comes with the latest Macs (iMac DVD, G4).
