DVD Player (formerly Apple DVD Player) is the default DVD player in Mac OS X. It supports all the standard DVD features such as multiple audio, video & subtitle tracks as well as Dolby audio, DVD@ccess URLs and closed captions. In some instances, users can choose which VOB file to open. It is found in /Applications/DVD Player.app. DVD Player will only install if there is a DVD drive attached to the computer at the time of the OS install (i.e., a bootable disk image made on a computer with a CD-ROM instead of a DVD-ROM drive will not have DVD playback libraries installed). DVD Player is also fully compatible with DVDs authored by DVD Studio Pro and iDVD, including HD DVDs by DVD Studio Pro.[1]

Limitations

DVD Player complies with most copyright laws, and will thus enforce most restrictive measures of DVD technology, such as region-restrictive encodings and user-inhibited operations ("disabled actions"). It will even force Apple's Grab (screen-grabbing) program to cease functioning through the Finder interface until the DVD Player application is quit, effectively preventing the user from taking screen captures of visual DVD content.

DVD read errors jarringly interrupt the viewing experience. "Skipping over damaged area" is displayed on the screen. Then the program stops responding while it attempts to read the DVD.
