 |
|
Can someone please point me in the right direction for playing back DVD on my gentoo system.
I have mplayer working and it plays all my files without a problem but I am not sure how to play DVDs back.
If I try and mount my DVD drive, it says something about no UDF support in the kernel.
What do I do? |

You don't need to mount dvd.
You can play dvd's with mplayer with this:
| Code: | | mplayer -dvd <title> |
The default dvd device is /dev/dvd. If you don't have it, you need to use option -dvd-device <device>, where device is your dvd-player.
For more options(subtitles, audio etc.) check out the mplayer doc or man pages.

Do I need to mount the DVD drive with SCSI emulation or anything?
Recently I got my burner to work (although, lately it hasnt been working properly but thats another issue) and I think I also made my DVDROM have SCSI emulation
hdc = dvd
hdd = cdr
I only pass hdd=ide-scsi in the kernel options though.
In fstab however, my dvd has the device of a SCSI CDROM.
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/cd (approx) |

cheers, you guys rock!
I left my DVD with SCSI emulation, so I just made a quick soft link from /dev/scsi/blah to /dev/dvd and it works sweets 
One thing though, the DVD playback is MASSIVE. "Normal Size" the video is bigger than my 1600x1200 desktop, and "Double Size" is rediculous. Whats up with this? |

I think Ogle is the best, it supports menus and looks very nice.

I like Olge a lot but I now use Xine most of the time. One reason is the de-interlacing that Xine provides.
