Valid DVD Player can not be found -70012

I am Running OSX 10.33 And Up until recently The DVD Player was working. The DVD is an External Lacie Pioneer 106.

Could have sworn is working even after 10.3 upgrade. There have been some other updates since from Apple since? Weird.

I tried Deleting com.apple.dvdplayer.plist that did not help. Roxio and Finder still mount and interact with DVD recorder.

More on DVD Player issues with external drives We continue to receive reports that under 10.3.3, DVD Player no longer recognizes their some external DVD drives - though DVD-RAM and DVD data discs continue to operate properly.


MacFixIt reader Phil may have found a fix: "My sister ran into this problem after updating to 10.3.3. Replacing '/System/Library/Frameworks/DVDPlayback.framework' with the older version from Mac OS X 10.3.2 seems to have resolved the problem. Maybe some of your readers would be interested in that little hack. My sister has reported no 'side effects' as yet."



You can retrieve this file from another system running Mac OS X 10.3.2, or from the Mac OS X 10.3.x installation CD with a tool like Pacifist.

Indeed that fixed it:)

I had previously tried copying from Previous system folder framework trick that was a non starter.

Well I guess I'll give it a hack and see if I can get my external to work with DVD player too :o
