I have a graphite DV special edition iMac that I'll admit is pretty ancient. I just use it mainly for browsing and word procesing though lately I've been using it to watch porn DVDs. The problem is, about sixth months ago, I started getting an error message when I put in certain RLD/PXP or Ana/Dia DVDs that reads "unknown error in DVD playback framework (-70001)."

It doesn't happen all the time and I have no problems watching discs from Evil Angel, Sineplex, or really any other companies. The other frustrating issue is that the problem is not consistent. I bought "Cum Filled Asshole Overload 2" from Red Light and it's played fine, every single time. I also have plenty of older RLD titles that play with no problems. I can't spring for a new computer right now so if anybody knows of any updates or drivers I need to download or of any settings I need to adjust, I'd really appreciate it.

Just a quick note about my overall system specs -- iMac 400 Mhz G3 with slot loading DVD-ROM drive running OSX v.10.2.8.
Thanks again for any advice!

I've had lots of problems with my slot-loading Apple DVD-ROM drives, every one of them, but that was because they would "eat" discs (physically scratch and destroy them).

The only issue I can think of with your G3 is perhaps the DVD "firmware" needs to be updated? I'm not really sure how to do this though... Let me do some research real quick...

Apparently there are some known issues with running Jaguar (Mac OS 10.2.x) on a G3 slot-loading iMac, although the drive doesn't seem to be affected.

Firmware Problems With Jaguar

I would try installing This Firmware Update

You must reboot back into OS 9 to install, and then switch back to Jaguar.

Info about OS X Firmware

Edit: Whoa... Hold on... I just found this:

iMac Technical Document

see #12: 12. iMac DVD Update 1.0 places new firmware on the DVD-ROM shipped in iMac DV and iMac DV Special Edition computers. This update improves the ability of iMac DV models to read certain CD-ROM discs and to determine if a disc is unreadable. For additional information on this update please read TIL Article 58557: "iMac DVD Update 1.0: Read Me"

So, there's something called an "iMac DVD Update 1.0" from Apple which addresses the problem specifically in iMac DV special editions.

But, the link at that site doesn't work...

This is What You Need, Probably

Or it could be this one if it's a SuperDrive

It's just a regular DVD-ROM drive that doesn't even burn CD-Rs. I'll try the second to last link and see what happens. Thanks for all of your work!

I'm not sure I know how to start OS9 up anymore. I can get it to run, but it appears to be running with OSX simultaneously. I used to have a classic environment option in my system folder but it seems to have moved or, more likely, been misplaced by me. Does anyone have any suggestions? I do believe you're right about it being a firmware update issue RLD Fiend, though. If I can just start up OS9 and download the update, I'd be in business!

Restart holding down the option key after the gongs. That should send you into OS 9. If it's running along with OS X, you are running in the "Classic" environment, similar to running Virtual PC on your Mac. You might be able to run certain patches from there.

I have a G4 cube running 10.2.8, I rarely watch DVDs on that one but I'll try a RLD DVD tonight and tell you how it goes.

Or you could possibly buy OS X 10.4 and upgrade, it's just out in stores.
