when i try to play a dvd on powermac g4 os10x10.4 there is an initialisation error -70012 . any ideas how to fix this , this is my first computer and will need step by step clear instructions. thanks paul
First thing - is the drive inside your G4 a dvd-rom or just a cd-rom? You can find this information with Applications > System Profiler > ATA (or Serial-ATA if applicable).
Next - download and try VLC Player instead. There may be a compatibility problem with Apple's DVD Player (assuming your drive is dvd-capable) and your present brand of dvd drive.
