DVD Player 5.6.1 broken
I've just tried to play a DVD on my new MacBook Air. I'm using the apple 'MacBook Air SuperDrive' external dvd drive plugged directly into my laptop USB socket. When I insert a DVD - I've tried several - the DVD player launches, then immediately crashes. If I launch the player first it is fine until I insert the DVD, then it crashes. I can view the contents of the DVD using finder so I assume that the drive is working correctly and that the DVDs are fine.
The problem report is always the same. Am I doing something wrong? If this is a bug its a pretty obvious one - surely it would have been picked up by Apple's QA? Do I just wait for apple to fix their software?
Start of problem report is below. Because it is so long I've removed most of it as it is mostly stack traces. Near the bottom there is this line though: USB Device: MacBook Air SuperDrive, apple_vendor_id, 0x1500, 0x1a120000 / 4
