I have replaced the slotloading CD by a DVD in my iMac.
I never had realized this wouldn't work.
It doesn't because a normal iMac doesn't have a hardware MPEG2 decoder, only DV models have this.
But guess what, after installing OS X.1 a software DVD player was installed.
Surprised I threw a DVD in my iMac and it worked again!!
So the new OS X DVD player has a software decoder in it!
