Does region protection have anything to do with it ? Region 1
opera commercial DVDs regularly play on this iMac 10.4.8. UK
region 2s give out a warning "4 more plays and it sets to a single
region". Also just learned old PCs and electronics are a major
source of pollution in Africa. So the more long lived and
multifunctional these Macs are the better. Thanks for all the
interesting reading. Michael.

I have always had my CD/DVD automatically open in Apple's "DVD
Player" software. Some commercial disks, particularly Movies, are
programmed to only play that way. I understand it is a form of copy
prevention. Non commercial DVDs are somewhat different in format. HTH.
