In OSX, the same counts for Apple's DVD player and with any other player
as well.

A simple solution is to set the Screen Effects activation to "never"
(System Preferences>Screen Effects).

The same counts for the Energy Saver panel, switch off any energy saver
options.

Agreed, it's a roundabout solution but then CD authoring software nor any of
the sequencers for MIDI and audio have a screensaver block option, and those
are commercial.
