I need root because the top-level directory on my DVD has *no permissions whatsoever*. The files within this directory, though, have reasonable permissions for user, group, world. But the uid and gid are -1. VLC will only play the first program in the files so copied. To get the rest, I use a program I found at http://www.pixelbeat.org/docs/ DVD-VR/ which links to http://www.pixelbeat.org/programs/dvd-vr/ It reads the IFO and VRO files and puts together a sequence of VOB files. VLC will play these VOB files. I've used more disk space on my laptop this week than I've used in the previous year, though -- essentially two copies of the data on the DVD. It wold be good to find some way to combine all this hackery so as not to need all that file space. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///dev/dvd'. Check the log for details. Now there appears to be no /dev/dvd, as tetified by ls in another shell window: hendrik@notlookedfor:~$ ls -l /dev/dvd ls: cannot access /dev/dvd: No such file or directory hendrik@notlookedfor:~$ So the first step seems to be to find out why there's no /dev/dvd. That's weird... sm01@stt008:~$ ls -l /dev/dvd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 sep 25 11:13 /dev/dvd - sr0 Does the system detect the insertion of the DVD? I mean, can you see an icon on the desktop or something under /media/*? But I did find a device /dev/video0. Hum... this is usually for webcams or video cameras, not DVDs. What's the out put of ls -la /dev/video0 and dmesg|grep -i dvd? (...) Not sure where to go next. An I missing device drivers? Do I need a kernel module for the UDF file system? Some other packages? I think the problem could be at DVD media detection, it seems not to be recognized by the system. Run lshw as root also. I get this: *-cdrom description: DVD writer product: CD/DVDW SH-W162Z vendor: TSSTcorp physical id: 0.0.0 bus info: scsi@1:0.0.0 logical name: /dev/cdrom logical name: /dev/cdrw logical name: /dev/dvd logical name: /dev/dvdrw logical name: /dev/scd0 logical name: /dev/sr0 version: TS00 capabilities: removable audio cd-r cd-rw dvd dvd-r configuration: ansiversion=5 status=nodisc If your system picks it up, from there it has to be configuration. I've got the same problem. I've never had movies on a debian system, but then again, I've never spent enough time to figure out why. First steps so far, for me, was to go here: http://debian-multimedia.org/ put the right entry into /etc/apt/sources.list update, download the key, then do a 'safe-upgrade' with aptitude. I think the site is going to be my main resource because the forums for SMplayer and Xine are woeful. In a past experience, I never got an answer from the xine mail list and there were maybe three messages on it over a one month period and I posted a question on the SMplayer forum a week ago and still no answer there. Anything I pick up I'll post as I go.

Anyway, now vlc is there you'll want to go to the Disc device section from Media/Open Disc... and give it something like /dev/cdrom or /dev/srX (x=1,2...), The configuration file for vlc is in ~/.config or you could set a default other than /dev/dvd in the Input Codecs section of the Preferences menu. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

What to do with a DVD-RW +VR disk? UDF file system
On my Toshiba D-VR7KC2 DVD recorder I have recorded some video on a DVD- RW, using the +VR recording format. But I'm unable to play it on my wheezy system in either VLC or the Gnome Mplayer. Now according to online documentation I have a strong suspicion that this is recorded in some form of the so-called UDF file system. What do I have to do to get my machine to recognize this, either for playing it or for copying the video off it? Writing video to it would be nice, but not immediately needed. I might add that I have no problem playing ordinary commercial DVDs. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
