| 19 Notes:<BR> | |
| 20 - Do NOT mount VCD disks and play DAT files directly! It may work under windows | |
| 21 but won't work under linux. You have to play them directly, with the -vcd | |
| 22 option!<BR> | |
| 23 - VCD disks usually have 2 tracks: a data track (containing autostart windows | |
| 24 playback program, karaoke data etc) and a mode-2 track (the movie), so try | |
| 25 -vcd 2 first!<BR> | |
| 26 - the default VCD device is /dev/cdrom. if your device differs, then you have | |
| 27 to make a symlink, or specify it in command line! | |
| 28 </P> | |
| 29 | |
| 1682 | 30 <P>From Linux documentation:</P> |
| 1612 | 31 |
| 1682 | 32 <P>Some CDROM drives are capable of changing their head-speed. There are several |
| 33 reasons for changing the speed of a CDROM drive. Badly pressed CDROMs may | |
| 34 benefit from less-than-maximum head rate. Modern CDROM drives can obtain very | |
| 35 high head rates (up to 24-times is common). It has been reported that these | |
| 36 drives can make reading errors at these high speeds, reducing the speed can | |
| 37 prevent data loss in these circumstances. Finally, some of these drives can | |
| 38 make an annoyingly loud noise, which a lower speed may reduce.</P> | |
| 1612 | 39 |
| 1682 | 40 <P>The recommended way to do it is with a program called 'setcd' . It's kinda |
| 41 old, but won't be too hard to find on the Net. (UPDATE : new hdparm | |
| 42 has an option for this !) | |
| 43 Use it with :</P> | |
| 44 | |
| 45 <P> <CODE>setcd -x [speed] [cdrom device]</CODE></P> | |
| 1612 | 46 |
| 1682 | 47 <P>Also you can try:</P> |
| 48 | |
| 49 <P> <CODE>echo current_speed:4 >/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE></P> | |
| 50 | |
| 51 <P>but you'll need root privileges. I use following command too:</P> | |
| 52 | |
| 53 <P> <CODE>echo file_readahead:2000000 >/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE></P> | |
| 1612 | 54 |
| 1682 | 55 <P>for 2MB prefetched reading from the file (it's useful for scratched CDROMs). |
| 56 It's recommended that you tuneup your CDROM drive also with hdparm:</P> | |
| 57 | |
| 58 <P> <CODE>hdparm -d1 -a8 -u1 (cdrom device)</CODE></P> | |
| 1612 | 59 |
| 1682 | 60 <P>to enable using DMA access, readahead, and IRQ unmasking. |
| 61 (if you don't understand these, *read the hdparm manpage*)</P> | |
| 1612 | 62 |
| 1682 | 63 <P>Please refer to "<CODE>/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE>" for fine-tuning your |
| 64 CDROM.</P> | |
| 1612 | 65 |
| 1682 | 66 <P><B><A NAME=4.2>4.2. DVD playback</A></B></P> |
| 67 | |
| 68 <P>Yes, the real DVD support has been arrived. You don't need to play VOB files | |
| 69 manually from disk thinking of the purpose of a file in the video_ts | |
| 70 directory, you don't need worry it it's an encrypted disk or not (in old | |
| 71 <B>MPlayer</B> you had to put '-dvdauth /dev/dvd' into the command line in case | |
| 72 of encrypted discs), and you don't need even mount your disk to be able to | |
| 4057 | 73 play (but mounting it makes Linux cache the cracked CSS keys, so the playing |
| 74 will initialize much faster second time).</P> | |
| 75 | |
| 1682 | 76 <P>IMPORTANT NOTE: please _DO_NOT_ require further features for DVD playback. |
| 77 This is the first version of some real DVD support inside <B>MPlayer</B> and | |
| 78 we're busy with hunting bugs and implementing basic DVD player features.</P> | |
| 1612 | 79 |
| 2001 | 80 <P><B>MPlayer</B> uses libdvdread which has got built in support for IFO |
| 81 parsing, reading navi blocks and doing authentication/descrambling. libdvdread | |
| 82 uses libdvdcss to the latter tasks. So you will need libdvdcss and libdvdread | |
| 83 downloaded, compiled and installed BEFORE you run ./configure script of | |
| 84 <B>MPlayer</B> which will autodetect libdvdread for you in this way.</P> | |

| 97 <LI>libdvdread 0.8 - you'll need <B>libcss</B> instead of libdvdcss</LI> | |

| 121 </UL> | |
| 1612 | 122 |
| 2001 | 123 <P>Of course after installing libdvdcss and libdvdread you don't need recompile |
| 1682 | 124 them at each time when you want to recompile <B>MPlayer</B> (from a new CVS version |
| 125 for example) since the needed packages have already been installed on your | |
