The MPEG-2 Playback Component can play back MPEG-2 files on non-encrypted DVDs. Professionally produced, commercial DVDs (such as Hollywood movies) are usually encrypted with special anti-piracy software, called Content Scramble System (CSS). In order to view these DVDs, decryption software is required and is included in DVD players. But decryption software is not included in QuickTime or the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component.

When the "Facade Settings" pages are used to make changes to Facade, the current home screen will be shut down and reloaded so that the changes can be seen immediately. On very rare occasions WM5 does not seem to like this, resulting in a non-functional Start button. The solution is to reboot the phone, either using the "Reset" button from the Facade launcher bar, or by using the power button to turn the phone off and then on again. See similar questions...

Generally if your brake stopped working entirely, you have an electrical problem. This is most likely a failed switch (probably a fuel pump or clutch switch). You can usually confirm this by hot-wiring the brake, bringing battery power directly to the solenoid leads (with the engine at idle). Be sure to disconnect the existing leads to the solenoids so that you do not damage your control system. If the brake does not operate when hot-wired, you may have a solenoid failure.

There are two approaches to sound on modern kernels: OSS or ALSA. OSS is the older of the two options and has been depreciated, but still functions well for many older Macs. ALSA is the newer method and will continue to be supported in the future. We recommend that you use ALSA unless you have problems with it. See similar questions...
