This patch modifies the DVD Player that ships with Mac OS X 10.3 (a.k.a. Panther) or 10.4 (a.k.a. Tiger) so that it always honors user action. This means, you will be able to fast forward even if the movie is trying to prevent you from doing so, forcing you to view boring ads for a minute or two.

Ever watched a foreign country movie with its original soundtrack and being forced to read a poor translation at the same time? You should be able to switch forced subtitles off. You will also be able to change the audio language on the fly. You might have heard about this with different words, such as DVD "User Prohibition", UOP, "User Operation Prohibition" or "Prohibited User Operations", a "functionality" that gives the movie's publisher control over your DVD player remote control, deciding which buttons you can use and which you can't. This patch takes that control away from the publisher, and hands it back to you. Don't blame Apple (or your topset player manufacturer) for this, blame the movie industries that enforce this through their license system.
Lastly, this patch also removes the restriction introduced in Mac OS X 10.3.5 where an internal DVD drive is required to run the DVD Player. This patch is localization independent : while the patching tool it is in English only, once applied, the DVD Player will benefit from it, whatever language you use.

Be careful though, as this hasn't been tested yet by a lot of people, and we don't know yet who the developer actually is.

Unfortunally the latest version (1.8) doesn't work for DVD Player 4.6.1 ( it does for 4.6 though )
I mailed the creator about above , but he didn't reply . On his site , while it was still up , i read that he retired.
I still have hopes for a 1.8.1 version that ofcourse would do the job for 4.6.1 , maybe not from XVI but from his successor.

But think about it... you may notice that the patch has been download more than 5,000 times. No one has come screaming about how it screwed their system. On the contrary, people are quite pleased with the results. Of course they are all lying and their Macs all crashed AND burned to a crisp only after first sending all their most confidential info to parts unknown.
