Are you sure it is not encrypted? If it is encrypted you need an intermediate program to decrypt the stream. -- Guillaume Cottenceau -- Distribution Developer for MandrakeSoft http://www.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/

RE: [Cooker] Playing DVD under linux .
I tried installing and using this program last night; I put a dvd movie into the dvd drive and then called the program from the command line 'vlc' but all it said was 'waiting for stream'. Am I mistaken in expecting this program to play dvd movies? If it's indeed a player, what are the steps to get it working?

Re: [Cooker] Playing DVD under linux .
None of them are complete yet. The most complete one at this stage is included in cooker - XMovie. The latest version is 1.5.2 an 1.5.1 is included in cooker. 1.5.1 can only play single .vob files but 1.5.2 can read the index files (.ifo). check out the home page on http://heroine.linuxave.net You may also want to check out the videolan client at http://videolan.org > >Hi all , > Someone have a link to a good DVD player since commercial one doesn't >exist >(Intervideo tell that they are in process of creating LinDVD and Cyberlink >PowerDVD for linux) >and free one (officially) doesn't exist because of the need to sign the >NDA >and pay them >But there are some project like livid in process : > >http://www.linuxvideo.org/index.php3 > >I've downloaded the last one (you need only livid it include the ac3 >decoder) >but the ac3 decoder doesn't compile corectly anyone have a link to dvd >player >that compile corectly under madrake 7.2 b3 ? > >Thanks , > Meir Faraj > > _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
