Dvd Playback

[4play]

im having problems with dvd playback with xine.

I installed the latest verison with the latest dvdcss stuff but the playback is still very choppy. im guessing possible mpeg2 codec problem.

anyone else have similar problems ?

Have you installed the latest MPEG-2 codecs? I just use VideoLAN though. :)

try to find them pesky mpeg2 codecs and videolan is a bit cocked up at the moment.

anyone wanna recommend a few mpeg2 codecs for linux. im having trouble there are so many :)

the ffmpeg one is crap by the way

im still trying to resolve this pesty problem :frusty:

im trying to make sure dma is enabled on my dvd rom.

i tried using hdparm as root but it says it is not supported for this device. what else can i use to check dma is enabled ?

edit: yay it worked nice smooth playback. i used yast to turn on dma by the way and i just noticed a triple post :P

yast is pretty cool. its yet another system tool but it works well.

doe shave a few little problems like it keeps messing up my fstab file.
