I will try upgrading my kernel then. > I have also seen the DriveReady SeekComplete error's very often.

The DVDs had some scratches, yes. But I noticed this kind of error quite often with my old computer too (it was a PPro 200, with a Pioneer CD-ROM drive and a 2.2.15 kernel)... I tried disabling the DMA, but then playing DVDs works fine. Only seeking takes more time than with DMA enabled. Would a 80-wires ribbon cable help? I have seen this mentionned somewhere on the Web. > As for freevo crashing, are you sure you're not having the pygame > parachute deployed segfault from dvdinfo.py, which has already been > mentioned a few times on this list ? That seems to be a problem with the Might be. I only recently (i.e. Friday :) started to watch DVDs with the computer, so I'm new in these problems (although I have been using and hacking freevo for over a year now). > runtime built against a different version of libdvdread/libdecss. I use the libdvdread from the runtime (at least I did, until I upgraded to libdvdread 0.9.3, which seems to work fine. Version 0.9.4 doesn't work with my version of the runtime, however, but it doesn't segfault). > If that is the case, there is a workaround for the problem, still I do > agree that this part of freevo should be much more crash-resistant. I'll try to find the workaround. The freevo-XXX mailing lists don't seem to be archived in SourceForge, though, it's a bit annoying. I found a post (http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg04454.html) mentioning my problem. I'll try a newer runtime...
