lujhu is on a distinguished road
dvd player

This is intended for Caitlin who wrote a question to tech support...I have the same problem. I'm from Canada, but I live in Taiwan.

I can't find a way to not make DVD player load whenever I put a DVD in the drive...and when I command-Q DVD player the disc is ejected.

The way I have found to get around this is to put in the disc, then load VLC player, and after VLC player starts to play the disc I can then quit DVD player. A pretty stupid way to solve the problem, but it is the only thing that seems to work.

Has anyone else had this problem,or found a better way around it?

ElDiabloConCaca will become famous soon enough
In DVD Player's preferences, under "Player," make sure "Start playing disc" is unchecked. Also, beside "When a disc is inserted" uncheck "Start Playing disc."

Also, in System Preferences, under "CDs & DVDs," setting "When you insert a blank DVD" to "Ignore" may help.

As for the ejecting drive when DVD Player quits, that may be something that an AppleScript can accomplish or remedy, but I'm not sure.

I hope that helps!
