My current system is working pretty well, but I have a few niggles. This is the first : when I play a DVD in vlc, it plays in bursts, with pauses between. That is, it plays for a little while, then reads the next part of the disk. This makes it unusable.
In the vlc there is mention of using hdparm to turn on DMA - ah, the old days before libata, when the CD/DVD drive was /dev/hdX. Trying that on /dev/sr0 is, of course a no go [ invalid ioctl for device : I did actually try it ]. Has anyone managed to play a DVD (using the kernel's libata drivers) with vlc ? In case anyone asks - xine works fine for doing this, but I'd like to see if an app using ffmpeg does it differently. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
