[muglo] Re: DVD Player

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.
