DVD Player Controls
You can use the DVD controller to perform actions or control the Mac OS X DVD Player. You also have the option to use your keyboard and mouse to perform tasks and actions.
To invoke actions without using the DVD controller, you can use the Controls and Go options in the DVD Player Menu Bar. Launch DVD Player to see what's available for the menus.
