TOTALLY WORTHLESS - Version: 4.6.5, 5/30/2006 01:49PM PST

Last night for no reason the deinterlace on my DVD Player 4.5.6 went haywire, leaving green flickering lines through the movie I was watching. It does this with all the movies. Deinterlace is checked, unchecking does nothing. There is no change despite tests on every command and combination of commands. Repeated attempts to download an uncorrupted version are fruitless; it says it's upgrading 4.5.6, but it's really 4.5.1 and won't install on my disk, saying that there's a newer version there. There isn't. I threw all of them away, along with the six or seven downloads. Nevertheless it keeps telling me that I have a newer DVD Player. Apparently not only the DVD Player is corrupt and useless but so is the support. I'm in a country that doesn't like Macs, and I wish I could count on Apple's support the way Apple has been able to count on mine since 1984.

*REQUIRES* Helvetica.dfont!!! - Version: 4.6.5, 10/26/2005 04:35PM PST

I am trying to "streamline" the OS and remove unnecessary, non-required fonts. And I'm intelligent and experienced enough to know that certain fonts _must_ remain; like Lucida Grande. Also, many folks have reported success in replacing some of their Apple-supplied ".dfonts" with the Adobe Type 1 postscript equivalents, which is what I've done. However, it seems that even with the Adobe Helvetica family installed, the Mac OS (mine is 10.4.2) will completely fail to mount DVDs and the DVD Player will then completely fail to play them if the Apple Helvetica.dfont is not active. Sad. Very sad. Mostly because many apps will have a "confused" font menu because Helvetica is double-listed and/or the apps will have various sub-menu (style) issues with Helvetica. Anyone have a difference of opinion or a different result?

the latest update plain sucks: I can't read DVD movies anymore. But VLC can play all of them fine. Booo-hoooh! Apple fails into such trivial software: a basic DVD player. Only 3rd party apps work properly. a big 1 star !
