If you right-click on the icons, go to Options, and choose Show in Finder, do they end up pointing at the same DVD Player application?

Yes.

Am I the only person to have reported or experiencing this issue? I've had it happen on My Mac Pro under Leopard and then Snow Leopard after a clean install as well as on my MacBook under Leopard and then Snow Leopard after a clean install.

I always end up converting my DVDs to H.264 MP4 files... let me rip a DVD and test it out to see if I can replicate it.

Again, it can happen with any DVD (VIDEO_TS), but not necessarily on every launch. When I try to recreate the issue, I can usually get it to happen in less than 10 DVD launches.

I always launch from DVDpedia fullscreen.

Okay, I managed to replicate the issue, but the process involved with doing it is pretty complicated.

1) Remove DVD Player from the dock
2) Launch DVDpedia
3) Go to full screen, play the VIDEO_TS file
4) Hit escape to exit full screen mode, and while movie is playing, drag DVD Player icon to permanent area on dock
5) Quit DVD Player
6) Go back to full screen
7) Launch movie again

In that case, I manage to get a second icon in the dock. That said, when I quit DVD Player, that icon disappears, and future attempts to launch DVD Player from inside DVDpedia have it using the original icon.

Here is a screen capture of it:

It doesn't show up twice in the dock's plist file, either. But yeah, I could never get it to /stay/. The second icon would always disappear after quitting DVD Player and any future launches don't have the issue.

@Ted: If you're willing to go back to a "factory default" dock, you can delete the following files from your ~/Library/Preferences/ folder (in your home directory):

com.apple.dock.db
com.apple.dock.plist

And see if that fixes your issue. Of course, you'll be back to a standard dock, which might be super annoying on its own (although it looks like your settings are pretty standard). You can always back it up first and restore if it doesn't fix your issue.

I've done this in the past, but it doesn't seem to help.

Actually, if I drag that second copy over into the persistent area, I end up with two copies of DVD Player.app in my Dock. Here is the .plist for it:

Code: Select all
