Hi Ken,
The mount business was done because I got the error quoted in my
original post when I did what you just said. I wanted to see what was
going on. What is "ISTR"? No I don't have any libdvd*. Are they in BLFS?
I didn't see them while I was looking through the list? If not do you
know where I can find them...Never mind I'll Google for them. As I
replied to Kriss I tried another DVD. The files had the same file system
structure as the SG1 DVD as far as directory and file names. These files
had 555 permissions instead of 444 not that it should make any
difference. This DVD ran fine, the whole thing. The DVD was a Christian
movie. These types of DVDs are usually not as "protected" as normal
commercial media so maybe "protection is what I ran into although I
don't understand how a DVD player could be allowed to read it if a
computer can't. I'll try getting those libs you mentioned but I doubt
they will make SG1 play since the other DVD played fine with what I have
and it seems to have the same format as the SG1.
Arnie
