LinDVD - mandriva 2008 powerpack

[null]

doesn't play any DVD. When I insert a commercial DVD, KDE pops up a window... "what do you want to do?". I select LinDVD, and the lindvd screen comes up and the player controls, but nothing plays.

 

I went into options and selected Region 1 for USA.

 

I watch DVD movies on this same machine under win2k and with windvd, which is the same company that makes lindvd (intervideo).

 

Something else needs to be done?

 

not sure if I have libdvdcss, but lindvd does not need that does it?

 

LinDVD was one of the reasons I installed mandriva powerpack. I'm not interested in any of the "free" video players for DVDs. I'm interested in lindvd only.

 

My monitor on this machine is actually a 23" LCD TV, so it's not like I'm a guy who likes to watch DVDs on his computer... I'm watching DVDs on an actual TV.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Maybe it's the same issue from the 2007 version?

 

 

Run as ROOT and enter the following in a terminal window.

 

cp /usr/share/lindvd/libivimandriva.so /usr/lib/ldconfig

 

it may help! though I'm not running 2008 to be sure..
