please help, i would post a pic for you guys to see what im talking about but i cant, but when i watch movies with apples dvd player, i get all these weird artifacts, i been having this prob all along since 10.3, im in 10.3.3 now and still the same thing, but if i open the dvd disc under VLC, it plays clear, any ideas why? I already tried trashing my apple dvd prefs and still nothing, sigh, please can someone tell me whats possibly wrong! It has to be something with apple's dvd player app im thinking... cause under VLC it works fine.

We need to know more than that. What computer do you have? Graphics card? Any hacks installed? What's the DVD? Etc.

What sorts of artifacts?

I use my Ghz TiBook (64 MB ATI card; combo drive) for playing DVDs at home through an InFocus X1 (which kicks a$$ by the way). The picture is perfect as of 10.3.2. Haven't tried 10.3.3 yet.
