<div><em><strong>Melanie L</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>This is so weird, usually all of the Disney DVDs that I own, have been working perfectly on my Macbook. And I just bought a new DVD that is from Disney and suddenly, near the climax part, it kept on saying &#8220;Skipping Over Damaged Area&#8221;<br />
I have tested on my other Mac computer, same result. Same thing for the VLC Player. I noticed that my DVD wasn&#8217;t making any sounds at all when it said that quote.<br />
What&#8217;s going on with my Mac computers? I just want to play my movies peacefully in my room.<br />
I only own one TV and it is the only one that has the DVD player. The main problem, there&#8217;s always someone watching TV so I never had the chance to go near it.<br/><br/></div>

<div><em><strong>samonosu</strong> asked: </em></p>
<p>I&#8217;m making the switch from Windows but I&#8217;ve never used the Mac OS and so I&#8217;m looking for the best way to get my hands on one while staying as cheap as possible (avoiding refurbished/used machines).  I will use the Macbook to run Adobe CS4 on the go for web and print media design work.</p>
<p>Both laptops will have the same 4 gb DDR3 ram, 256 mb intergrated Nvidia 9400M video card, 250 gb hard drive both running at 5400 rpm.  The only difference (may be a big difference) is the CPU, 2 ghz or 2.4 ghz; I read somewhere it&#8217;s an insignificant amount.  1.8 ghz vs 2.6 ghz yea big difference, but 2 ghz vs 2.4 ghz trails closely.  What do you think?  I don&#8217;t care for future proofing my laptop, I just wanted to test the OS without giving myself a false impression because I was being a cheap-o.<br />
Please don&#8217;t try to answer this question if you:</p>
<p>A) Don&#8217;t know *** Adobe CS4 is<br />
B) Can&#8217;t tell the difference between CPU &amp; GPU<br />
C) Believe Adobe is not a resource hog<br />
D) Mention video editing because CS4 Design Premium was not compiled for video editing</p>
