X Tips: External DVD Player on G3 Firewire


Maybe I missed the news somewhere, but I thought that displaying DVDs on my PowerBook G3 Firewire was not possible yet under OS X. After I downloaded 10.1.3 and now that I’m running DVD Player 3.0.1 I was suprised to find that external DVD playing was possible. The only catch is that I must have video mirroring on and the display set to 800×600 and the color set to thousands. It works great. Much better than OS 9. Is this unique to my machine?
