I tested the patch (and another upstream patch to remove an extraneous free) using my son's Toy Story DVD. It does prevent the out-of-memory condition, but (at least for Toy Story) it achieves this simply by failing early.
I suppose failing early is preferable to gobbling all memory and disk space, but it still isn't providing a usable copy, so I couldn't call this a fix. Maybe it works better on some of the other mentioned DVDs, but I don't have access to them at the moment so can't confirm. I've updated the above ppa to current SVN tip for libdvdread (+ debian patches) if others wish to test other problematic DVDs with it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/377414 Title: libdvdread runs out of memory following libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in ifo_read.c:1913 on certain DVDs - Copy protection on The Dark Knight and other recent DVDs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdvdread/+bug/377414/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
