Gowator Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 First, I wouldn't normally contradict someone as knowledgable as bvc but I had all your problems yesterday Does it work???? Just for you ...... What is plf .. contribs ... PLF is the Penguin Liberation Front They compile the rpm's that mandrake isn't allowed to or IMHO are scared to. http://plf.zarb.org/ Read it.... it uses some extra libraries which are also available from Mandrake .. trhese are called contribs. At this stage you don't need to worry why ... so far youve been finding your RPM's somehow, downloading etc. This isn't necassary ... (well not usually) except in the case of odd things becuase kind people have madrakised them for ya. A big thanks at this point to the plf and texstar. Theres a utility called EASY URMPI .... Its on the plf site ..... It updates your rpm sources with the internet ones and then at the prompt you type urpmi <packagename> and it automagically finds the latest and installs it... When its good its VERY VERY GOOD. It changes your life, at least with broadband ... I'd encourage you to read the plf stuff. If you can't be bothered type this at the command prompt: urpmi.addmedia plf ftp://ftp.club-internet.fr/pub/linux/plf/9.1 with hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia contrib ftp://ftp.club-internet.fr/pub/unix/linux/distributions/Mandrake/9.1/contrib/RPMS with ../../i586/Mandrake /base/hdlist2.cz urpmi.addmedia texstar ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/contrib/texstar/mandrake/9.1/rpms with hdlist.cz I'd urge you to go to the plf easyurpmi link though can you type the following from the command line ls -l /usr/lib/libcss* Do you have a creative dxr3 decoder, becuase xinbe thinks you have. at least you must have loaded the pluginfs.

Guest mahiles Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 I went to that site and I'm confused already (suprise, suprise).. Can someone explain this for me: A few plf packages need contrib, therefore you should add contrib if you add plf. Restrict your selection to sources you really need, since sources may conflict - It is not my fault. 1) Core distribution: Source main: The core of the mandrake distribition Source contrib: Some packages make by voluntaries or mandrake, no support, no update for it. Source updates: Official updates for mandrake, included security updates What do I want to download? I don't understand this contrib?? :? :?

bvc Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 Thanks Gowator, but in this arena I'm a dunce. I just know it works for me, but like I said, I dk what an encrypted dvd is, but I'd like to. If I've wasted your time mahiles I'm sorry but shouldn't you try to get just a plain/reg/whatever dvd working first? :shock: Urpmi? just as Gowator said, as root in a terminal urpmi.addmedia plf ftp://ftp.club-internet.fr/pub/linux/plf/9.1 with hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia contrib ftp://ftp.club-internet.fr/pub/unix/linux/distributions/Mandrake/9.1/contrib/RPMS with ../../i586/Mandrake /base/hdlist2.cz urpmi.addmedia texstar ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/contrib/texstar/mandrake/9.1/rpms with hdlist.cz see after urpmi.addmedia it says contrib plf texstar After you add these to your sources you can then see them/remove them/edit them from the Software Sources Mgr, if that's your concern. Pkgs from these sources will also be available from rpmdrake (gui). Want more info on urpmi? It's all over the forum. Good Luck!

tyme Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 dang gowator! i'm glad i'm not running dial-up, that took a good bit to load even on my DSL...:!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 tyme: Erm could be my DSL. Its 512kb down but only 128 up. It loaded pretty quick on 100mb/sec on my internal network :D, Ill reduce it tonite... EVERYONE: Has anyone got encrypted DVD's playing without dwonloading ANYTHING? Im willing to believe it but I thought as shipped it only played non encrypted. Mine: It is running the DVD's I get from the rental place in zone 2, the same as Mahiles. I think its probably possible with a pretty small download of just the libdvdcss stuff but it has to be the one built againt with the d5d or dvdnav ??? My logic if you can call it that is that I'm sure everything is available on the plf site to make it work whereas as far as I know the out of the box stuff doesn't actually play encrypted DVD's.. I don't really know cos its kinda murky. No one seems to want to advertise the fact. What bvc said about non-encrypted is true ...I found the first time I did this I used a DVD that came with a magazine becuase it was unencrypted.... Mahiles:Supported/non-supported etc. Look forget its on the web.... Imageine its windows and some thrird party stuff is on a coverdisk. What they mean unsupported is Mandrake don't support it, maybe no-one does but nearly everyone on this board is using it...... You get tons of stuff with Mandrake to starrt off but imagine loading WindowsXP and nothing else ... editing with wordpad etc. So you get tons of software with Mandy but some like the DVD playing is crippled for legal reasons. If you wanna write mp3's you will need a decoder ... again PLF/texstar is your source. Other RPM's exist .lots of them. look at rpm find but we usually find the texstar/contribs/PLF reliable. They are all in the links from this site and they were mirrored before something happened last week. They might still be here actually, i didn't check. Hope it clears it up a bit ..... Its probably the hardest thing you'll have to do in Linux becuase the dependencies are hell. Using plf/texstar you know its either on their site or in the contribs and that makes it a lot simpler... Watching DVD's was the last thing I got working when I kicked Windows out completely and I'd been using linux for a while then. The main problem was I was downloading rpm's everywhere ... and the versions of different things didn't match. Now I discovered PLF and Texstar it changed my whole outlook. The only part even tricker is DVD Ripping ... I'm still missing something called rar which does something to the compression on audio for VCD's. As you could see, mine's working ... You probably should look at your graphics card too since it isn't supporting Xv. What card is it.... There might be a better driver :D Xshmem performance isn't going to be very good.... But we'll deal with this once its working..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Sorry to jump in too late (told you guys I wouldn't be around so much...! ;) ) Anyway, to add to the confusion-- read my website, configuration page (hey, use the search, I didn't add it for nothing ;) ). Tells exactly how to setup the machine for dvd playback on xine and mplayer. Basically, you can install all that came with mdk 3cd download edition, then you only have to do (after adding plf resources): urpmi libdvdcss2 for both xine and mplayer to be able to decode encrypted dvd's. Note: I did not install anything else from plf or so to get dvd playback going, all the rest was from the download cd's! libdvdcss is forbidden in the USA due to the law known as DMCA. Thank your fellow americans for not having dvd playback out of the box, and for having to download stuff first. 90% of all dvd's you find in the shops are encrypted, maybe even more. In Asia you find plenty that are not encrypted, many of lesser quality and all region free and under 2 US$... :D MPAA is not happy with those, as you can imagine. Start mplayer with gmplayer as mentioned to get the gui. Right click the picture or player to get a menu. Don't start gmplayer like gmplayer & but just gmplayer mplayer doesn't do menus, just plays the movie; right click to select language and subtitles etc. xine does do menu and all, so you also get the trailer stuff and dolby ads etc. Helps also to get to the specials/extras. On dvdripping + encoding: this is not hard to setup, including this rar thing. urpmi unrar or so, I forgot. I remember that it was not hard to get it working. Oh yeah, the package is called dvdrip (dvd::rip is the official name on the website), their website explains very detailed how to use the program. It takes quite some time and webbrowsing to actually figure out the best settings: single pass vs 2pass xvid vs divx ogg vs avi 5.1 audio vs stereo desired bitrates, single cd or 2cd set apparently it should be single pass with one format (divx or xvid) and 2pass with the other (again, forgot. Alzheimers will not have a big job on me when the time comes it seems...). First time I did it, I didn't check the right site, so did it the wrong way around,.. 10 hours of computing time 'wasted'.... Well not really, because on the resulting 2 cd set with 5.1 surround sound there was no noticeable difference with the original dvd on my 16:9 projector or on my 1600x1200 21" monitor....

Guest mahiles Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Wow! I mean wow! I have DVD playback :D :D Thanks guys! Lol just a side note that I am on 56k dialup cos you can't get anything else where I live so it was a wait but it was worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Welcome to the REAL WORLD. Hey look on the bright side you learned loads :D Thanks again aRtee !! unrar .... I'll try tonight .... I did I think try searching on rar so that should have been found. Perhaps I need to update my hdlists :D Ultimately my copying is for my archos MM player.... The playback size is restricted (to the same a VCD) and the audio has to be in MP3. Like you point out software MP4 is pretty heavy on CPU cycles .... I have just bought the Archos Video Recorder plugin for 50Euros ... Absolutely amazing ... REAL TIME recording to disk at VCD quality via HW compression. You get a remote too in with the price, including batteries :D Gotta be the best 50 Euros worth of kit I ever bought. An aside: Aparrently the New Lindows release comes with their modified Xine (as pointed out in another thread). What I forgot to mention was it does REALTIME MP4 encoding of DVD's as you watch them.

bvc Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 now that this is resolved...can someone tell me what an encrypted dvd is :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 it's a DVD where the data is encrypted to try to keep unauthorized players from playing said DVD (And to keep people from making unauthorized copies), it's why the creator of decss (an unauthorized tool for decrypting encrypted DVDs-what libdvdcss is based on) got himself in trouble with the U.S. government, thanks to the DMCA.

bvc Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 Thanks!...and that's what I figured, but I find it hard to believe that a lot of the dvd's I've played with xine were not encrypted. Isn't it rather common now-a-days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
