Uh, there's nothing stopping you from using a different application for DVD playback to get the same thing on Mac OS X as well. I don't know what Ubuntu uses by default for DVD playback, but on OS X, you can simply install VLC or mplayer (two of the popular apps that can play back DVDs on Linux), and set it up as the app to launch on DVD insertion instead of Apple's DVD player. -- Jarod Wilson [hidden email] -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
