Recently I haven't been able to get some DVDs to play on my Quicksilver. DVD Player will say "Not Permited" when I press play. They also won't show up in the Finder anymore. DVD Player will usually freeze.
Right now my DVD drive isn't responding to the eject button. It's out and won't go back in when I press the button and hold it.
If I restart I can get it to work with some other DVDs. However, all these DVDs work on my 12-inch powerbook with no freezing or delay.
I tried trashing the DVD player prefs, is there anything else that I could try and fix it? Is my DVD drive gettig old already?

No...DVD Player just plain sucks. I have tons of DVDs that make DVD Player hang. I have to force quit it all the time when I try to watch my Simpsons Season 3 DVDs and my South Park Season 1 DVDs. There's also a few DVDs that crash DVD Player halfway through the movie.
vlc handles these DVDs just fine.
DVD Player in Jaguar sucks...DVD Player in Panther sucks less but still sucks nonetheless (meaning it still hangs and beachballs all the time).

In fact...OS X itself has trouble reading some DVDs. I just put in Pulp Fiction and the Finder is beachballing with no end in sight.

10.1 was better reading DVDs. In Jaguar the slightest scratch makes the DVD Player hang. Booted back into 10.1 the same DVD plays fine.

Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

I'm starting to think that it may be a hardware problem. I got the DVD playing in VLC and now it works in DVD Player. I always have issues when I want to burn CDs as well.

Well...hardware problems is always a possibility. But I know my combo drive works fine...and that DVD Player stinks.
