|
|
|
<P>Linux documentation excerpt:</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>Modern CD-ROM drives can attain very high head speeds, yet some CD-ROM drives
|
|
are capable of running at reduced speeds. There are several reasons that might
|
|
make you consider changing the speed of a CD-ROM drive:</P>
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>There have been reports of read errors at these high speeds, especially
|
|
with badly pressed CD-ROMs. Reducing the speed can prevent data loss under
|
|
these circumstances.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Many CD-ROM drives are annoyingly loud, a lower speed may reduce the
|
|
noise.</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
<P>You can reduce the drive speed with hdparm or a program called setcd.
|
|
It works like this:</P>
|
|
|
|
<P> <CODE>hdparm -E [speed] [cdrom device]</CODE></P>
|
|
|
|
<P> <CODE>setcd -x [speed] [cdrom device]</CODE></P>
|
|
|
|
<P>You can also try</P>
|
|
|
|
<P> <CODE>echo current_speed:4 >/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE></P>
|
|
|
|
<P>but you will need root privileges. The following command may also help:</P>
|
|
|
|
<P> <CODE>echo file_readahead:2000000 >/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE></P>
|
|
|
|
<P>This sets prefetched file reading to 2MB, which helps with scratched CD-ROMs.
|
|
It is recommended that you also tune your CD-ROM drive with hdparm:</P>
|
|
|
|
<P> <CODE>hdparm -d1 -a8 -u1 (cdrom device)</CODE></P>
|
|
|
|
<P>This enables DMA access, read-ahead, and IRQ unmasking (read the hdparm man
|
|
page for a detailed explanation).</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>Please refer to "<CODE>/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE>" for
|
|
fine-tuning your CD-ROM.</P>

<P><B><A NAME="dvd">4.2 DVD playback</A></B></P>
|
|
|
|
<P><B>MPlayer</B> uses <CODE>libdvdread</CODE> and <CODE>libdvdcss</CODE> for
|
|
DVD decryption and playback. These two libraries are contained in the
|
|
<CODE>libmpdvdkit/</CODE> subdirectory of the <B>MPlayer</B> source tree, you
|
|
do not have to install them separately. We opted for this solution because
|
|
we had to fix a libdvdread bug, and apply a patch which adds
|
|
<B>cracked CSS keys caching support</B> to libdvdcss. This results in a large
|
|
speed increase because the keys do not have to be cracked every time before
|
|
playing. The cracked keys are stored in the
|
|
<CODE>~/.mplayer/DVDKeys</CODE> directory.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P><B>MPlayer</B> can also use system-wide <CODE>libdvdread</CODE> and
|
|
<CODE>libdvdcss</CODE> libraries, but this solution is <B>not</B> recommended,
|
|
as it can result in bugs, library incompatibilities, and slower speed.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>Support for DVD navigation via <CODE>dvdnav</CODE> is being worked on, but
|
|
not finished yet.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P><B>Old-style DVD support - <I>OPTIONAL</I></B></P>
|
|
|
|
<P>Useful if you want to play encoded VOBs from hard disk. Compile and
|
|
install <B>libcss</B> 0.0.1 (not newer) for this (If <B>MPlayer</B> fails to
|
|
detect it, use the <CODE>-csslib /path/to/libcss.so</CODE> option).</P>

Notes:
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>Do <B>not</B> mount VCDs to play the DAT files directly! It may work
|
|
under Windows but will not under Linux. You have to play VCDs with the
|
|
<CODE>-vcd</CODE> option.</LI>
|
|
<LI>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 <CODE>-vcd 2</CODE> first.</LI>
|
|
<LI>The default VCD device is <CODE>/dev/cdrom</CODE>. If your setup differs,
|
|
make a symlink, or specify the correct device on the command line with the
|
|
<CODE>-cdrom-device</CODE> option.</LI>
