DVD-ROM on a Mac

Does anyone own a Mac and are they having trouble getting the DVD-ROM to work? It says it should work on a Mac and I have the right apps but when I click the interactive portion on the menu it just goes to the page and tells me what I need, which I have.

A fine question. I was wondering the same thing myself. It does claim to support Macs, but...



If anyone could help us out, this forum newcomer would be most grateful!

The following exchange is of Indy and Mac at a local diner:

Indy: "Well? Are you gonna order?"

Mac: "Sure. I'll take a cup of coffee. What do you want old buddy?"

Indy: "Me? Eh, give me a DVD-ROM."

Mac: (confused look) "OK. Well... whatever that is, it's on me."

*ahem*

/me slaps Adamwankenobi around just a little and starts anew

Alright. Would anyone here know anything about getting the DVD-ROM features on the Young Indy DVDs to work on a Macintosh computer?

Or Indy and Mac at McDonald's. "Me? Eh, give me a Big Mac"

I know next to nothing about Macs myself (the computer type, that is ), but according to StarWars.com, the requirements are: "OS X Version 10.3.9 , G4, 1 GB RAM, and 150 MB available hard drive space".

The back of the boxes also specify: Flash player V.9. (but you probably know this already...)

Yeah, I'd already noticed, but I meet all those except the RAM, which I'd already begun to think might be the problem. It just sounded to me like an overinflated amount lifted like boilerplate text from a "standard" set of system requirements that I was inclined to dismiss it. I've got 768 MB in my G4, which certainly ought to be enough for something like this, but everything's so bloated now. Bleah.

Ah, well. I guess I'll just check out the interactive stuff when I get my next computer, or if/when I wind up getting more memory for this one. I wasn't planning on doing so, since it has enough memory already that it's not the limiting factor on what I can run on this computer most of the time - virtually everything that can run with my processor and video card requires much less memory, and there are lots of programs for which I have more than adequate RAM but not enough CPU or GPU oomph. This might be the first thing I've come across for which I meet all the requirements except the RAM.
