I am on a Macintosh w/ Tiger OS.

I have a DVD that is supposed to be
Mac/PC and is supposed to show a interface

I can open the DVD and see all the files,...
including quicktime movies.



But no matter what I do the interface does not appear,
and supposedly the DVD is OSX Mac and PC.

After double clicking the DVD one of the items that appears is
the "TILCS2 Launchpad Mac" (UNIX executable file) but clicking this only opens
Photoshop. What utility on Tiger would open this
DVD so the interface would appear.

This is a 506k file and I think is supposed to start the process

I see the AutoRun icon on the DVD for
the PC............

Can you play it in a DVD player (not computer)?

It shows up on TV through a DVD player but its not manipulatable
with the exception of being able to move through menus.
Its like a directory

Thanks

If you're talking about some sort of helper/wizard/what-have-you program
that's supposed to automatically launch when the disc is inserted,
there's no such functionality in Mac OS. It was introduced some time ago
and then removed with the advent of OS X because Apple discovered that
almost no users or legit developers wanted or needed it, but it
presented a lovely vector for malware potentially impacting those users
least-prepared to handle an attack.

It sounds like whoever staged the disc didn't really have a clue what
they were doing on the Mac side. What's the DVD supposed to contain?

You didn't give nearly enough information to answer this question
adequately. What do you expect to happen when you use this DVD? Is it
software, a video, music files, or some combination of those?

Was this DVD purchased from a store or software publisher? If so, return
it and tell them it does not work or call the company's tech support to
ask for assistance.
