At 06:13p +0800 07/12/2004, Eddie Hsu didst inscribe upon an electronic papyrus:

tell application "DVD Player"
activate
end tell


This script work fine on Mac OS 10.3, but when I run it on 10.2.8, nothing
happens. I use Script Editor to run this script, I got a message
"Application isn't running". I tried many applications "iTunes", "QuickTime
Player" and so on, they all work. I don't know what go wrong.

Did you try launching it manually just to make sure it's not broken itself?


Is there any other way to launch DVD Player?

Sure; have the Finder do it:

tell application "Finder" to open application file id "com.apple.dvdplayer"


-boo
amused that its CFBundleSignature is "cfbs" (so creative, LOL)
