playing a dvd
Hi Im trying to open a dvd and play it. I am trying a number of programs but I cannot seem to get it to open my dvd. I have tried totem, kmplayer and finally mplayer from terminal. $mplayer dvd://1 gives me: libdvdread: Could not open device with libdvdcss. libdvdread: Can't open /dev/acd0 for reading. Couldn't open DVD device: /dev/acd0 This seems to have happened a few weeks ago, because i have used kmplayer (on gnome) before and I had no problems playing dvd's. Could someone help me out?

Re: playing a DVD with mplayer
Hi Peder, I agree with you, no need for a gui... But what I meant is I'd like to access the DVD (the disc !) menu, not the one of the software, a command line is much more efficient ;-) Ganaël LAPLANCHE [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel : (+33)6.84.03.57.24. -- Original Message --- From: Peder Blom [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Ganael Laplanche [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed, 3 Sep 2003 17:31:02 +0200 Subject: Re: playing a DVD with mplayer On Tue, 2 Sep 2003 08:36:37 + Ganael Laplanche [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Isn't there a mean to launch the full DVD and to navigate through the in a graphical way (as ogle or xine) ?

lowest possible mhz speed for playing mpeg/dvd video ?
Hello, I am considering purchasing a toshiba libretto 110ct with a pentium 233 mhz MMX processor. Is this speed/processor fast enough to play mpeg video and DVD movies from my hard drive, assuming I have _no_ hardware acceleration at all ? I want to use this small notebook for watching movies on planes, etc. (among other things) and am wondering if the CPU is up to the task. Previously I had tried video on a 166 mhz MMX and was not successful. Any comments are appreciated - especially regarding how well it will work. Even if it _technically_ works on a 233 mmx, if the playback will be spotty and bad, it's still not worth much... thanks!

MPEG might work but it depends on which MPEG you're talking about and what resolution. Plus the battery definitely won't last long enuff for a film.

Is this speed/processor fast enough to play mpeg video and DVD movies from my hard drive, assuming I have _no_ hardware acceleration at all ? I have an AMD K6-III 400 here, and I can watch DivX movies at 1024x768 using mplayer, but only with xv support from an old ATI Rage II and with the -framedrop option set. Unfortunately, DVD playback does not work, although my DVD drive is working in DMA mode. Replacing my ISA sound card with a PCI soundblaster did not help either... (I am writing this because the mplayer documentation hints that a bad sound card will slow down everything). Simon pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
