Question
I have at Mac at home witch has a DVD/CD player in it.
I was wondering would you please me: is the DVD player on computers the
same as the DVD player witch is connected to your T.V?
Thanks
Answer
In 90 percent of the cases, yes. You should be able to double-click the disk's icon on your desktop and it should play in a program called iDVD, part of all OS 9 system and OS X systems on a Mac, a different program on a PC. However, there are a few that won't play for you, most often because your computer's software is too old, or because copy-protection was installed on the DVD disk. And there are couple of odd DVD formats, but by an large -- assuming the DVD is a standard size (NEVER STICK AN ODD SIZE DVD IN ANY slotted Mac, though you can put them in a tray-loading DVD/CD-ROM tray) -- The best thing is to try it and see. -- George
