I recently purchased the Planet Earth DVD set from Amazon but my Macbook won't read the DVD at all. I'll insert it, it tries to run the DVD, and then it pops it back out. Is there a program I can download or something to update the DVD player that comes with the mac? Thanks for the suggestions.Mac never supported HD DVDs ... I Think that they will or do support blue ray now due to the discontinuation of HD DVDs. Sorry... however if you really want to watch them, the XBOX 360 HD DVD Drive is compatible with Mac and Pc.
Apparently you might not be able to even play it with the XBOX according to this forum :

The initial plans were to make it so it could... and I have heard that if the HD DVD was authored on a mac in the DVD Studio type program, then it would play, however this is all speculation.Take it to the mac store, and they will install a new CD drive. it will have a small fee. no, its an hd dvd, your mac book dvd player is almost guarenteed not an HD DVD player. you have to have a cd rom that will read hd dvd before it will work, probly wont happen on your macintosh, take it back and get the regular version will work fineYou can't. The Macbook doesn't have an HD-DVD drive in it.HD DVD and DVD are two completely different things. all macs can play dvd's, but not hd dvd's. hd dvd is another format and another type of drive that macs do not support.If it's an HD-DVD, you're out of luck. You need an HD DVD player, which isn't too easy to find nowadays. It was the competition to Sony's Blu-Ray discs. The Blu-Ray format won support from more major movie companies, and HD-DVD is functionally dead. If possible, There's no upgrade you can do for your macbook to play the DVD, your best bet is to try to return the HD-DVD for a regular DVD, or sell the set on ebay and buy a regular DVD set.#If you have any other info about this subject , Please add it free.# |
