Hi all, I have purchased a couple of Disney DVD's recently, because my Son loves them (Cars, Toy Story). However there are problems with them.
It seems that they have figured out how to break libdvdread which results in it chewing 100% of ram and then dieing. It seems that this is due to the DVD being scanned rather than just played. If I put the DVD in my laptop and play it with Kaffeine I can play it just fine because it plays the DVD. In fact on my media centre it plays just fine if I launch Xine manually with the xine dvd:// style of execution. So to watch them we have to break the laptop out and watch on that. Is there any way to stop Freevo scanning / mounting the DVD's when they are inserted? And instead just launch the dvd when I select play from the Video menu? It's a real killer atm as the DVD's that are used most often can be played, and the same errors stop be ripping them to play from the network. If it was just me I would boycot the DVD's but you can't explain to a 3 year old that he can't watch his favourite DVD due to copy protection issues ;). Cheers, Steve. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What You Don't Know About Data Connectivity CAN Hurt You This paper provides an overview of data connectivity, details its effect on application quality, and explores various alternative solutions. http://p.sf.net/sfu/progress-d2d _______________________________________________ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users
