DVD Closes

When I watch a DVD, after 15 seconds to a minute, my DVD screen goes away. However, I can still hear it playing. How do I keep this from happening?

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Don't know why it happens, but does the screen just go black or does the screen saver start?


Maybe this thread will help: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1011009?start=0&tstart=0


SMC & PRAM reset: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603


Maybe this will would suit as a workaround if the resets don't work. If it's the screen going black you could try adjusting the Display Sleep time when you want to watch a DVD:

System Preferences>Energy Saver>Display>Never.


If it's the Screen Saver: System Preferences>Desktop & Screen Saver>Screen Saver tab and set it to 'never' from the 'Start after' drop-down menu.


Then remember to change the settings back after watching.
