Notes:<BR>
|
|
- Do NOT mount VCD disks and play DAT files directly! It may work under windows
|
|
but won't work under linux. You have to play them directly, with the -vcd
|
|
option!<BR>
|
|
- VCD disks usually have 2 tracks: a data track (containing autostart windows
|
|
playback program, karaoke data etc) and a mode-2 track (the movie), so try
|
|
-vcd 2 first!<BR>
|
|
- the default VCD device is /dev/cdrom. if your device differs, then you have
|
|
to make a symlink, or specify it in command line!
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>From Linux documentation:</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>Some CDROM drives are capable of changing their head-speed. There are several
|
|
reasons for changing the speed of a CDROM drive. Badly pressed CDROMs may
|
|
benefit from less-than-maximum head rate. Modern CDROM drives can obtain very
|
|
high head rates (up to 24-times is common). It has been reported that these
|
|
drives can make reading errors at these high speeds, reducing the speed can
|
|
prevent data loss in these circumstances. Finally, some of these drives can
|
|
make an annoyingly loud noise, which a lower speed may reduce.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>The recommended way to do it is with a program called 'setcd' . It's kinda
|
|
old, but won't be too hard to find on the Net. (UPDATE : new hdparm
|
|
has an option for this !)
|
|
Use it with :</P>
|
|
|
|
<P> <CODE>setcd -x [speed] [cdrom device]</CODE></P>
|
|
|
|
<P>Also you can try:</P>
|
|
|
|
<P> <CODE>echo current_speed:4 >/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE></P>
|
|
|
|
<P>but you'll need root privileges. I use following command too:</P>
|
|
|
|
<P> <CODE>echo file_readahead:2000000 >/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE></P>
|
|
|
|
<P>for 2MB prefetched reading from the file (it's useful for scratched CDROMs).
|
|
It's recommended that you tuneup your CDROM drive also with hdparm:</P>
|
|
|
|
<P> <CODE>hdparm -d1 -a8 -u1 (cdrom device)</CODE></P>
|
|
|
|
<P>to enable using DMA access, readahead, and IRQ unmasking.
|
|
(if you don't understand these, *read the hdparm manpage*)</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>Please refer to "<CODE>/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE>" for fine-tuning your
|
|
CDROM.</P>

<P><B><A NAME=4.2>4.2. DVD playback</A></B></P>
|
|
|
|
<P>Yes, the real DVD support has been arrived. You don't need to play VOB files
|
|
manually from disk thinking of the purpose of a file in the video_ts
|
|
directory, you don't need worry it it's an encrypted disk or not (in old
|
|
<B>MPlayer</B> you had to put '-dvdauth /dev/dvd' into the command line in case
|
|
of encrypted discs), and you don't need even mount your disk to be able to
|
|
play :)</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: please _DO_NOT_ require further features for DVD playback.
|
|
This is the first version of some real DVD support inside <B>MPlayer</B> and
|
|
we're busy with hunting bugs and implementing basic DVD player features.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P><B>MPlayer</B> uses libdvdread which has got built in support for IFO
|
|
parsing, reading navi blocks and doing authentication/descrambling. libdvdread
|
|
uses libdvdcss to the latter tasks. So you will need libdvdcss and libdvdread
|
|
downloaded, compiled and installed BEFORE you run ./configure script of
|
|
<B>MPlayer</B> which will autodetect libdvdread for you in this way.</P>
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI><P><B>Download source of libdvdread and libdvdcss.</B></P>
|

<P><I>You can download them from

<A HREF="http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd">http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd</A>

libdvdread in a table).</I></P></LI>

<LI><P><B>Recompile MPlayer.</B></P>
|
|

<P><I>Run <CODE>./configure</CODE>. If you install libdvdread correctly, ./configure

|
says something similar:<BR><CODE>Checking for DVDread support ... yes</CODE><BR>
|
|
(Of course you can put your favourite configure options into the command

line when you run ./configure). That's it! Say: <CODE>make</CODE>, then <CODE>make install</CODE>.</I></P></LI>
|

</UL>
|
|
|
|
<P>Of course after installing libdvdcss and libdvdread you don't need recompile
|
|
them at each time when you want to recompile <B>MPlayer</B> (from a new CVS version
|
|
for example) since the needed packages have already been installed on your

machine.</P>

Yes it can (or at least it would be able to) but there is now DVD subtitle

You can adjust the right DVD audio stream with: '-aid 128' command line

experience with numbers of 128,129,... and so on. Of course this problem

Get back asshole, there is no DeCSS code in <B>MPlayer</B>. <B>MPlayer</B> uses libdvdread

by linking against it, and libdvdread uses libdvdcss by dynamic loading it.
