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, closed captions and 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 (ie, 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 (despite the fact that there are no HD-DVD drives for Mac OS X yet).
