Yeah, my first computer went something like this:
200 MHz processor
1 GB Hard Drive
16 MB ram
And it cost us $1,350
Sure is interesting to see the way computers have advanced in technology and price!

The DVD did NOT DO THIS, if it did you would have see lots of lawsuts....this guy did not know what he was talking about. If you are reading a DVD, it will not trash your hard drive...if you try to install software from a dvd, it may or may not be compatible. If you run bad software you may have unique problems.....but should never by just running a DVD movie.Originally Posted by Alex T
I would never let this tech guy touch my equipment!!!!
P.S. I am certified Mac hardware.....and hold over 1500+ PC certs..... and do not like to cut people down....but this guy just gave you crap....IT IS NOT SOFTWARE COMPATABLE MEANING: the extras only were written for PC. Checked the knowledge base and the only real problems with it in Mac X are screen ratio problems and no mac software included on the DVD.

Derf-
He never confirmed it was the DVD, but was clue-less as to what happened and made the comment that it could be the DVD, but he never confirmed it was. He was actually very helpful with me, spent almost 2 hours on the phone trying to get it to work for me, and the computer was just not doing anything.
Why would there be lawsuits? The DVD specifically warned in bold on the back that it wasn't compatible. This woulldn't be Mac's fault either if it was the DVD.

If Macs were constructed in a way that playing a standard widely sold DVD could destroy the hard drive, there would be lawsuits. I've searched on Google for other instances of DVDs and specifically The Aviator killing Macs and couldn't find anything...for a movie like that of which a few million copies have been sold, you wouldn't be the only one with this problem. Most likely your drive just died because sometimes they do. A friend of mine has gone through a couple of hard drives and a motherboard on his MBP in only a year and a half...Apple has promised to give him a new one if it happens again. I have heard of stories about the slot loader being screwed up by mini-DVDs and certain other types, but that only affected the DVD drive, nothing else.Originally Posted by Alex T
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.

This website, someone else also had a DVD problem, in fact the exact thing that happened to him, happened to me.Originally Posted by GothamSpotter

He was watching Bourne Supremacy, I'd have to look on the DVD to see if it is mac compatible.
Not to say it is the only problem.
It sure is quite ironic though one has to admit, my Mac failed watching a DVD where the DVD states specifically to not use it on a mac OS X program. I looked at every DVD I have used in the laptop the past year, the aviator was the only one to have the warning.

Airplane skin flicks will occasionally do that to a computer. Espesially when you put Leonardo on the screen. If I were a computer I would vomit my insides as well.
