DVD playback is generally an issue with disk I/O - so you can use hdparm to tune the drive. When I watch DVD, I use the following (and mind you, your settings may differ) hdparm -d1 -p4 -X66 /dev/hdc ...then I fire up Mplayer or Xine and that's that. -- Thu Dec 12 07:30:01 EST 2002 7:30am up 23:52, 5 users, load average: 0.37, 0.42, 0.31 .o0 linux user:267497 0o. -------------------------------- | __ __ | kühn media australia | / \ /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | .\__/ || | | | | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kühn | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | ;"""/ / | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU -------------------------------- Coralament*Best Grötens*Liebe Grüße*Best Regards*Elkorajn Salutojn "Look, Daddy, a whale egg!" --Ralph Wiggum Make Room for Lisa (Episode AABF12)
