DVD ROM Drive mounting confusion
Hello, in my box I have a DVD-ROM drive and a DVD burner. I ide-scsi'd both of them (because I occasionally use multi-session DVDs which, when using the ATAPI driver, are not mountable any more if the last session is beyond a certain position). This sould make the drives appear as /dev/scd0 and /dev/scd1. However, regardless of whether I mount /dev/scd0 or /dev/scd1, I always get the disk in the DVD burner (hda) mounted and never the one in the DVD ROM (hdb). Hints, anyone? Attached below is the output of dmesg and cdrecord -scanbus, all of which looks fine to me: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dmesg | grep hd Kernel command line: root=/dev/hdc3 ro hda=ide-scsi hdb=ide-scsi ide_setup: hda=ide-scsi ide_setup: hdb=ide-scsi ide0: BM-DMA at 0xd000-0xd007, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0xd008-0xd00f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio hda: _NEC DVD_RW ND-3500AG, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hdb: TOSHIBA ODD-DVD SD-M1802, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hdc: SAMSUNG SV1604N, ATA DISK drive hdc: attached ide-disk driver. hdc: 312581808 sectors (160042 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=19457/255/63, UDMA(100) hda: attached ide-scsi driver. hdb: attached ide-scsi driver.

Short answer - I don't know. However, see: http://www.michaeldvd.com.au/Articles/RegionalCodeEnhancement/RCE.asp A relevant quote. DVD players that play discs regardless of their Region Coding have made a mockery of the Region Coding system. So too has the dramatic growth of the Internet. It is just as easy to purchase a DVD from the USA as it is to drive down to the local bricks-and-mortar DVD retailer. A new, improved Region Coding system has been developed to combat this widespread disregard of the current system. However, as we will see, few DVD player owners will have much to fear from this new system, despite the scaremongering of the movie studios and some less-than-scrupulous retailers. So, in the end, I don't believe it will pose too many problems for technically savvy people and that will filter down to the masses. Jonathan

In conspiracy theory, DVDs are part of a global scheme to make information non-free.

I would like to hear from people who have their DVD-ROM drives working under Linux: make, model, good+bad points, etc. I have a Pioneer 105s, slot-in model, 16x. Plays CDs and DVDs fine; I've had no problems. Some people say it's a little noisy but it's never bothered me. Also, if you have a region locked DVD-ROM drive, did you manage to remove the region protection and if so, how well does it work without the region protection ? That's the reason I kept Windows around - so I could remove the region protection. In fact I did it this weekend and it worked fine. But there are warnings you could make your drive inoperable so be warned. I rented a couple of DVDs to see how it would go. I use OMS which has just been released to play the DVDs: The Iron Giant, a cartoon one, worked fine. However, Xman was jerky and sound was out of synch but this is to do with the OMS software; nothing to do with the DVD drive. Here are some notes on how I did it. Since driveinfo.exe reported my drive as firmware 1.11 I upgrade to 1.22 before running the region free bat file. Downloaded 105s 1.22 firmware from pioneer site to floppy. Restarted in _DOS_. Ran the bat file. Worked OK. Turned the machine off; then on. Checked with the driveinfo.exe - upgraded firmware from 1.11 to 1.22. Downloaded 105s firmware to make region free from link on www.firmware.com.bi site to floppy. Restarted in _DOS_. Ran the bat file. Worked OK. Turned the machine off; then on. Checked with the driveinfo.exe - region free! :) Good luck Jonathan

Re: DVD-Rom Drive
Hiya, Well, there are hardware decoder boards( DXR2 and DXR3 ) from creative labs. ( i read something today about DXR3 drivers being available, but double check that before you buy anything ) latest model: http://americas.creative.com/pc-dvd/encore-6x/ Also check out http://opensource.creative.com, a couple interesting things. Free software decoders are probabably a ways off, because of the current court battle over whether it is legal to reverse engineer the encryption scheme. This was sparked because of the development of a program (DeCSS) released under the GPL that did just that. The UNIX code is called css-auth-(version).tar.gz, but the legally tenuous position of this software makes it impossible for Debian ( or any other distro ) to carry at this point. However, there are some proprietary products being worked on ( they must use the licensed encryption/decryption algorithm to avoid being prosecuted, and this makes their software non-free AND requires certain royalties, making it very very unlikely that anyone will release an authorized player for no charge ). http://www.opendvd.org has more info on this.
