aRTee Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 (edited) I'm just upgrading my laptop to the latest and greatest, and I noticed an ad for Lindvd (from intervideo) during the installation process. Upon checking on the lindvd/intervideo website, there's nothing recent about it. Their pages are still the same ones from 2000 and 2003 or so. So why are they now advertising in Mandriva? Then I checked on the menu - and: it's there: Lindvd! So finally there's an official dvd playback program! Now I just have to fix the sound on my laptop, since otherwise it won't launch.. [EDIT] Okay, it works fine. Just a few comments: 1- my dvd drive region which was never set, now got set to zone 2. I also have zone 4 discs... 2- no way to skip the uninteresting parts - it's just like a 'real' player where you can't just skip.... I'll be off to urpmi libdvdcss and tread the trodden and comfortable path 3- quality seems to be fine. So now upon installation, dvd playback in linux is available. Hm, that's a first... Go Mandriva! [edit2] Hmmm, it seems that playback is limited to a few minutes (10 or so)?? So what's up with this one?
