The lack of region-free Mac stuff bites. I have a region-free player, so I do own the DVD set (hence my horror at discovering "The Gambler" was replaced with another version on the DVD), but I can't get it to play on the Mac nohow. Neither will the DW TV Movie, which is also depressing. VLC will play my other R2 discs quite happily, but not those two. :( And I've tried to rip the TVM to no avail.
I love my Macs to bits, but that part is just aggravating. There is a utility that lets you reset the drive setting, and supposedly when you run out of resets (I think you're allowed five), it lets you reset that setting as well, but I've honestly been afraid to try it in case that's not true.
