Sunnyr Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) Alright, I decided to give mandriva 2008.1 a try on my computer... I got all the codecs and stuff installed but DVD playback is crap. I tried every mode, turned my desktop effects on and off but its still choppy... anyone got ideas? and yes, I tried the video playback plugin in compiz, its a no go.

ffi Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) su hdparm -d /dev/<your dvd player> if it says dma is disabled enable it with hdparm -d1 /dev/<your dvd player> and see if this improves things, I don't have mandriva atm so don't know where the config file is stored to make the setting permanent Edited July 9, 2008 by ffi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunnyr Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 here is what I got from that command: [root@]# hdparm -d /dev/sr0 /dev/sr0: HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device [root@localhost sunny]# hdparm -d1 /dev/sr0 /dev/sr0: setting using_dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device and still choppy video. also this applies to local files like my videos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
