Dear Rick,
As a matter of fact, I just solved this yesterday with my Mac by installing=20=
a=20
firmware program that runs all regions of DVD. After you install it, you jus=
t=20
have to go to the preferences for the Mac DVD Player and click off the=20
automatic play settings.
The firmware is VLC and it can be found at http://www.videolan.org/ It's=20
not nearly as elegant to use as the Mac DVD player and perhaps slightly less=
=20
quality, but it solves the problem!
