if it's a problem with codecs install gstreamer0.10-aalib, gstreamer0.10-caca, gstreamer0.10-dv, gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg, gstreamer0.10-mpeg. that's all the codecs that i use to watch dvds and Xvids.

And see the info that theYinYeti has pointed.

Cheers

Oh that's a good thing that i didn't though... i'll check it then i will write if it worked or not...

Hey folks it's me again....

So while trying to resolve my input/output error in the other thread here is my newest headache...

I've installed Lm_sensors3-3.0.1 but i would like to know how to call it with kde without access in the terminal.... Ksensord works with lm_sensors 2.10.X. .

thanks in advance

John this thread has two problem but in only one thread... first problem is about dvd softwares, the second problem is about this input/output error that i got while using k3b or mplayer or totem ot whatever...

I can't make it clearer than that

Cheers

i've just found an error while watching a dvd... on the tty1

end-request. I/O error, dev sr0, section xxxxxxxxxx

which confirm my previous input/output error from K3B.... do you know what i can do in order to resolve that?

i always used mplayer for watching downloaded movies and stuf but never used it for watching dvd or cd movies... :P

Hello everybody!

Ok, here is my problem:

I would like to know which GPL software is the best to read DVD movies/films... I'm used to download *.avi and *.MKV to watch movies on my pc but i never played a dvd movie *.vob on my linux OS...

Currently i'm using Mandriva 2008.1 "spring" free edition.

Also i'm having troubles to write files in a dvd with K3B and it fails the burnings with this message error :
