ianw1974 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Oh, and older DVD's are OK. For example, Octopussy will play, but Casino Royale won't. So it's new encoding techniques on the DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 OK, well I've just fixed it on my machine with libdvdread3. I'm using Ubuntu, but maybe try the same thing on your machine and see if it does it for you. First, make sure that libdvdread3 is installed - find the equivalent libdvdread package for you in case the name is different, such as libdvdread without the 3 or something. Next, do: /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh which updates libdvdcss2, or at least did something for me. Then try vlc again, and you'll find vlc is working. Or if the script doesn't work, see if installing the libdvdread package fixes it. The script might be something Ubuntu specific, so I don't know. But fixed my problems with two DVD's that I checked so far anyway. Casino Royale works correctlynow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Or maybe try this: http://matthewdavidson.blogspot.com/2007/1...andriva-08.html but generally it's referring to libdvdcss, which hopefully you have installed anyway, but I think libdvdread might be better perhaps. Mandriva 2008 has libdvdread3, and Mandriva 2009 has libdvdread4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I believe this Optiarc is a SATA drive, so you must use sdparm instead of hdparm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trio3b Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I believe this Optiarc is a SATA drive, so you must use sdparm instead of hdparm. Well, man sdparm shows -d is a changed parameter to: -d, --dummy when set inhibits changes being placed in the DEVICE's mode page. Instead the mode data that would have been sent to a MODE SELECT command, is output in ASCII hex to the console. This option is mainly for testing. compared to this in hdparm: -d Disable/enable the "using_dma" flag for this drive. This option now works with most combinations of drives and PCI interfaces which support DMA and which are known to the kernel IDE driver. It is also a good idea to use the appropriate -X option in combination with -d1 to ensure that the drive itself is programmed for the correct DMA mode, although most BIOSs should do this for you at boot time. Using DMA nearly always gives the best performance, with fast I/O throughput and low CPU usage. But there are at least a few configurations of chipsets and drives for which DMA does not make much of a difference, or may even slow things down (on really messed up hardware!). Your mileage may vary So not sure if this is what i want. Anyway libdvdread4 and headers are installed from MCC. I have not yet tried older DVDs. -tail has not produced any messages other than what appears to be network traffic and me going into MCC to check/download the libdvdread4 pckg. Will give it a go and let you know. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trio3b Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 OK, this DVD plays in XINE on Vector Linux 5.9 .Light on an older Plll with DVD drive. Downloaded xine-ui onto the laptop and it just closes immediately upon opening. I have the files in Lexicons last post. Any thoughts?

ianw1974 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I don't know what else to suggest, but it seems you have a lack of resources for some reason. How much system memory or video memory you got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trio3b Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 After running these video apps from the command line I began to get errors related to what appears to be insufficient memory. This is a brand new Compaq lappy with 2gb RAM so I began to get google hits relating to either disabling compiz or any other 3d desktop effects (wobbly windows etc) that might eat resources. Also got hits to modify xorg.conf due to a supposed bug in relation to intel graphics. Did this several times to no avail. Finally shut down 3d acceleration in the MCC hdwr graphics card configurator and that did the trick! Now here's the catch. Just for grins reenabled hdwr acceleration and videos are still playing! Ironically, mplayer which at least displayed something (even if broken) when the others didn't is now the player that doesn't work. Dragon, VLC,Xine and Totem all seem to be fine now. Thanks for the help. We'll see how this holds up. Any thoughts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
