Hi all, I've got several DVDs (all original, one disney cartoon and two BBC nature documentaries) that I can't view in Linux. They work very well in Windows. There are scratches on the disney DVD, but the BBC documentaries have very few scratches.
Does anyone know why this happens? On ubuntu, the DVD doesn't even mount. When I pop the DVD in, the DVD drive makes some noise for a while, X freezes for a bit, and then sometimes it unfreezes (takes a long time). If it doesn't unfreeze, or I just get tired of waiting, I press the button on the DVD player to eject it. If it matters, I'm in New Zealand and I think the DVDs have some sort of Australia/New Zealand region coding. I'm able to watch the DVDs on my wife's windows partition, but I'd like to view it in linux (either on her laptop's linux partition, or on my own laptop). tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bopolissimus.blogspot.com http://monotrematica.blogspot.com Your theory is crazy, but it's not crazy enough to be true. -- Niels Bohr -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bopolissimus.blogspot.com http://monotrematica.blogspot.com My method is to take the utmost trouble to find the right thing to say, and then to say it with the utmost levity. -- George Bernard Shaw _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
