you need to modify the software Apple shipped for DVD playback because it only wants to use the rage 128 DVD decoder hardware (software hack).
Version 2.7 of the Apple DVD player does not depend on hardware decoders but only likes to use apple branded DVD readers. Joshua's patch works very well to resolve this issue. It is a patch to make the original classic Apple DVD player software usable with any DVD player upgrade you might use for your machine. Playback results will vary, depending to the computer hardware. On a stock beige G3/233 upgraded with a PX 708A recorder video DVD playback is smooth. Another link to a software dealing with DVD playback using Apple software in combination with "unexpected" hardware might be helpful for OS X users, as well.
