Thanks for posting this Predrag. I have had unsolvable (so far) problems with playing both dvd movies and cd audio. MPlayer will play VOBs but no menus, no navigation which can make watching pretty much impossible sometimes. I had actually given up on trying to get these two features to work and have installed a new linux (to me), Kubuntu. On this platform, there are no problems with DVD movies, audio cd, streamed audio, even flash. I can watch youtube too. This has not been the case on FreeBSD. I have tried installing FreeBSD 6.2 via three different versions, FreeBSD, DesktopBSD and PCBSD, and asked questions on their mailing lists. But I do like many things about BSD and would like to be able to move to it completely when I can have these features working correctly, so I will try your suggestions above and see what happens. neal. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
