I do not know anything about this topic, but I wanted to post it here for convenience. I have been told that there are various adult tubes on the net, that require flash > 7. Since flash9 is obviously not working on freebsd (at list it wasn't one month ago) this friend of mine is not able to watch those adult tubes. Due to his reporting, also tools like unplug-xpi did not do the job (btw, does this tool EVER download a flv file??) Well, this of course does not affect me at all, but I wanted to forward the issue/feedback to the list. Of course I will forward the replies back... At last I can say, I am happy not having any interest in adult tubes and therefore not being affected by this topic...

Any backyard/foreign, etc software pirates have no problem defeating the copy protections and merrily go their way making thousands of pirate copies while ordinary folk out there who are copying for personal, home use, such as backup (legal by the way) are the only ones hampered by these junky, anti consumer, schemes. jerry > Further, with Disney DVD's, Disney lately has taken to inserting > commercials for Disney cruise lines and other garbage into the DVD's > that are NOT skippable with a normal DVD player.

Now, before I continue let me explain that doing so is illegal in the US. All commercial DVD's are encrypted and the DMCA makes decrypting of them illegal, it even makes it illegal to give someone a copy of a program that will decrypt them, it makes it illegal to even write and post online the source code to such a program. It is NOT illegal to print up such source code in a paper book and sell it - the authors of DMCA wanted to duck the 1st amendment - Google DeCSS for an understanding of the controversy. With this in mind understand that CSS was broken years ago. Because of this, the DVD producers figured out that copying wasn't much of an obstacle to the unwashed masses, particulary when free programs for Windows began to show up. Many people with children have found that they accumulate a large number of Disney videos. They have also found the kids tend to scratch the shit out of them. So there is a large interest in being able to copy these things and store the masters safely away, then give the kids the copy to destroy. So all copying of commercial DVD's is not for piracy and I think people who assert this are moronic idiots. Further, with Disney DVD's, Disney lately has taken to inserting commercials for Disney cruise lines and other garbage into the DVD's that are NOT skippable with a normal DVD player. Responsible parents do not wish their kids to view this crap and so naturally there is another reason to copy these - to remaster them to prune out these commercials so the kids don't view them. Also illegal under the law as the copyright holder hasn't given you permission to do this. Anyway, Disney is greedy and wishes people to continue to buy replacement DVD's for ones they already own, and they want to push their crappy and junky cruise lines. So they take a dim view of copying. They know the CSS has been broken so these days they use all manner of different copy protection. One system is to intentionally press the DVD with some sectors using invalid CRC's thus a regular block ISO copy program will hit these sectors and assume the DVD is bad and abort. The menu on the DVD avoids these sectors, naturally. The latest trick is to damage the filesystem on the DVD in such a way as to make the DVD readable by a DVD player but not by a computer DVD drive. Pirates of Carribean 3 has that one, for example. There are many other copy protection tricks, it is a cat-and-mouse game that entire websites are devoted to following. Interestingly, since so many of these schemes utterly violate the DVD standards, companies like Disney are not allowed to use the official DVD logos on the boxes that they package their DVD's on.

No, I was using Kaffeine which also uses the xine backend (and its better picture quality). I see my original post ended up looking like just a moan when that wasn't my intention. (best laid plans...) I chose Kubuntu because it has an easy set up for VMware and a couple of similar products which I hope to get installed and set up to run BSD. Like I said I really like many things about FreeBSD, like it is just so much better organised than the Linux I've previously used. I just wanted to get 'my' basic requirements established first which has usually been trivial to achieve, but unfortunately got no further. neal. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Probably Kubuntu was using Kmplayer with the Xine backend. Xine has DVD menu support and AFAIK MPlayer doesn't on any platform.

Also read make showinfo /usr/ports/sysutils/k3b Best, Predrag Thanks for posting this Predrag. I have had unsolvable (so far) problems with playing both dvd movies and cd audio. MPlayer will play VOBs but no menus, no navigation which can make watching pretty much impossible sometimes. I had actually given up on trying to get these two features to work and have installed a new linux (to me), Kubuntu. On this platform, there are no problems with DVD movies, audio cd, streamed audio, even flash. I can watch youtube too. This has not been the case on FreeBSD. I have tried installing FreeBSD 6.2 via three different versions, FreeBSD, DesktopBSD and PCBSD, and asked questions on their mailing lists. My Dear Friend, You will have to wait for a very long time then since all of the above except Flash (which Adobe does release for Linux but not for FreeBSD) works flawlessly on FreeBSD including watching YouTube (just use youtube-dl to snap the video and play with VLC). There are even alternative solutions for the Flash unless you want to play video games full of Flash! The only reason they didn't work for you is that you didn't know how to set up those features. Never the less if you fell more comfortably with Kubuntu stick with it. FreeBSD is not platform for everything and everyone. Personally, I find myself using more and more OpenBSD. So you have to use OS you are comfortable with and has a features you most desire (in my case enhanced security). Best, Predrag But I do like many things about BSD and would like to be able to move to it completely when I can have these features working correctly, so I will try your suggestions above and see what happens. neal. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Try to install www/linux-opera, audio/vlc for DVDs and www/linux-flashplugin7 for flash. That should give you ability to watch DVD and flash... (works for me...)

After I met Don Knuth I really got into his stuff. But then, as mentioned above, LIFE hit me over the head, &c. FWIW, Someone friom the OOo list posted a math site a couple days ago.
