DVD Player 3.2 error (Jaguar)

Whenever I launch DVD Player I am prompted with a dialog that says "DVD Player encountered a serious error. Unknown error. [1634955892]"



The dialog forces me to quit...



Even though I can see the DVD startup movie playing in the background.



I expect it is not a problem with the DVD drive itself or with the disk because i can boot into OS 9 and watch the movie just fine.

    I had this problem when I installed a second drive in the second drive bay of the new powermac (OS 10.2 DVD player 3.0) after setting the regions for the drive. I re-installed some of the system software (just the additional apps I think) and the problem was sorted. Never found out what it was though.

    More data:



    updating to 10.2.1 has not fixed the problem



    i installed 10.2 on another partition on the same machine and DVD Player works fine when booted from that partition.



    Any ideas on how to fix?

    If you have multiple DVD drives, can you set each to a different reigon and play both regions without the drives locking up?



    PS: I know about the reset progams.

    I got the following advice on another forum:



    I renamed the file /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/HIServices.framework to /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/HIServices.framework.old



    (I did this in Terminal with mv command)





    DVD plays fine now and haven't found any bad effects...
