I've asked this same question on freebsd-questions an on #freebsd (freenode), but haven't gotten any answer, so I thought I'd ask on here.
I'm hoping someone can help me out here.
I recently moved a firewire card and DVD drive that had been in my FreeBSD box to another computer. I replaced it with an IDE DVD drive. The probelm is that now I can't get mplayer or vlc to play any DVDs that had previously worked with the firewire drive.
I have, of course, made sure that /dev/dvd is a symbolic link to /dev/acd0 instead of /dev/cd0 (as it used to be). The only difference that I can think of is that FreeBSD sees the firewire drive as a scsi drive and sees the ide drive as an ide drive.
Have you tried (from mplayer's man page):
-dvd-device <path to device> Override default DVD device name /dev/dvd.
Actually, I recall some player on which you just had to mount the dvd, and them point them at the path where the dvd was mounted.
