Darkelve Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 What player are you using? Do you have libdvdcss installed? Do you use, by any chance, suse 9.1? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanrev Posted October 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 (edited) yes I am using suse 9.1 and I don't know which procedure to follow to get the right player what would you advise me to do in order to be able to play a DVD on my computer with suse 9.1 on my main PC or with mandrake 9.1 on my laptop thanks in advance Edited October 29, 2004 by jeanrev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherpa Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 i suggest after you get libdvdcss, that you get the dvd player xine... it is quite possibly the best dvd player ever created... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No hessitation there :D Yeah, libdvdcss is a must. I personaly use Mplayer and Xine. Sometimes I'll run into one that won't play on one or the other, and it's nice to have a backup.

AussieJohn Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Pray tell why your headline said "DVD playing on Mandrake 9.1" and yet later on you are talking about suse9.1 as confirmed in one of your posts. It seems a little hard to make a mistake about two dissimilar names. Just wondering. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
