First, you posted this to an Apple II newsgroup, which has absolutely
nothing to do with the Mac (well, almost nothing ;-).

Second, the problem is that 'Apple DVD Player does not support the
graphic card or settings used for the main screen'.  That's all.  You
need a more versatile DVD player program for your Mac--one that
can scale the video to the resolution supported by your projector.
