I have a powerbook G3 400 Mhz running OS X. Since OS X does not support DVD playback is there any software decoder out there that I can use.

    Have you tried VLC?

    Which version of the Powerbook do you have?



    My Pismo handles DVD playback just fine in OS X.

    Apple released the DVD player for OS X a while ago. Try Software Update and see if you missed it. Also, check in your OS X applications folder and see if it's there already.

    OS X has supported DVD playback since 10.1, are you still running 10.0??? You need to upgrade!!
