Out of curiosity, what software are you using to burn the DVDs? I am looking into this (for data backup) and can't get a clear feeling for whether standard cdrecord does so. Isn't there a 'pro' or something that one needs for this? Or am I looking in the wrong place? On Fri, 13 Dec 2002 11:41:31

cdrecord on its own is not capable of burning a DVD. This was actually discussed on this list perhaps 6 or 7 weeks back, and i did some Googling and found a few links for Anita Lewis. Might want to check the archives for them. On Fri, 20 Dec 2002, Roger Oberholtzer wrote: Out of curiosity,

What kind of other hardware are you useing? I have noticed that Lonnie's recommendation (in the Xine SxS) for PIII-550+ is very appropriate. I have a decent 450 system but video-playback is miserable. I throw the same RPM's for Xine on the same Distro (COLW311) on an 800MHz laptop and playback

Keep in mind that decoding encrypted DVD's is very CPU entensive. So unless you have a decoder card (hardware decoding) rather than just using decss (software decoding) the CPU needs to do all the work in real time. Slower CPU's just can't keep up, so you either have to drop alot of frames to

Also, memory bandwidth will definitely have an effect. I can't imagine running this on a box with UMA (onboard video using system RAM) would work well. The one I've got will barely run X. You'll need a real AGP card with a decent amount of memory, though there's no need for one of those fancy
