I'm attempting to play a DVD on my computer. The player is a Plextor 708A.

gmplayer dvd://1

The console displays:

It will play which ever title I pick, but it always crashes after playing that title. It also always says the following on the console:

Hi,

I had a similar problem. Check, if you enabled DMA on your DVD Drive:

Code:
hdparm /dev/dvd


The output should contain something like:

Code:
 using_dma    =  1 (on)


I think, mplayer loads a part of the movie in the cache and then stops, because there is no permanent data stream. If so, I guess, that you can hit Pause/Play repeatedly and it always plays for a few seconds...


Cheers

bithub,

Run mplayer -vo help to see which video codecs you have.
This will also show which multi media extensions yo uhave compiled mplayer with.

bithub,

Code:
mplayer -vo help

You aso have
Quote:

fix that by adding mmx2 to your use flags.
It will be picked up at your next recompile.
You could post the output of
Code:
emerge --info
that shows all your build settings.
