Opening a DVD on my HD

I am a noob to AppleScript and Macs in general. I was wanting to create a script that opens a DVD that is located on my HD. This is all I could get so far…

tell application “DVD Player”
activate
open VIDEO_TS
end tell

I couldn’t figure out how to tell ScriptEditor where my movie was located(Home/Movies/Hackers Movie).

I don’t have a movie to use for testing but, according to other posts found by searching this BBS for VIDEO_TS, this might work.

set mov_folder to path to "mdoc" as Unicode text
set mov_ to (mov_folder & "Hackers Movie") as file specification

tell application "DVD Player"
	open VIDEO_TS mov_
end tell

Awesome! That worked, except I had to change “Hackers Movie” to “hackers:VIDEO_TS” Thank you so much Rob! :smiley:
