Hi all. Using Mavericks. Now it's been awhile since I watched a movie on vd. But I put in the first Harry Potter flick, and it keeps saying dvd player has new window. Please, hopefully someone has a way to stop this behavior because unless I switch away from it, I can't stand that. :) Thanks for anyone who might be able to help.

Yes Siobhan, I noticed that too. I just thought it wasbecause I am using the beta of mavericks update. Not really sure how to fix it but to leave the window.

This is the first dvd since I'm ahem updated, and maybe that's half the problem. Sorry editorial team, I wasn't trying to break the NDA and I don't think this gentleman was either. :)

There is no real need to worry. This has been going on for me since Lion. If you are not too interested in watching the movie in full screen mode "LOL"... go to the DVD Player preferences and turn off full screen mode. This should fix the problem... or if you do not want to do that, you could turn off VoiceOver by pressing Command F5 while you watch it in full screen mode. I hope this helps.
