I've been poking at playing DVD's for some time now, and am again out of ideas.
On Mandrake 8.2, running on a Celeron 1.2GHz with 512MB and a 4x DVD-ROM and savage24 motherboard with in-guilt sound and video.
I've installed xine, ogle, mplayer and videolan -- all play DVDs for a few minutes, but the picture and sound get out of sync, or skip, or quit altogether after as little as 2 minutes and as many as 10.
If I download an avi (DivX) from kazaa, and watch it in mplayer, I'm fine -- when I attempt to watch the same movie from my own DVD in mplayer I get the problem.
I've figured our how to check, and the IDE-DVD player is set up for DMA.
My next test will be to rip the files off the DVD and plop them on the harddrive to see if they play any better from there.
What else should I be checking?
