Could you insert the disk and open the URLs (in the open network tab) "vcd:///dev/rdisk1" and "vcd:///dev/rdisk1s0"? Does one of these work?

I am having this same problem. No, these network options don't work either. This is infuriating. The disk worked in the old version, but not the new.

Wait: I did an advanced open file & chose the .dat file in the MPEGAV folder. That worked.
