18 Notes:<BR>
|
|
|
19 - Do NOT mount VCD disks and play DAT files directly! It may work under windows
|
|
|
20 but won't work under linux. You have to play them directly, with the -vcd
|
|
|
21 option!<BR>
|
|
|
22 - VCD disks usually have 2 tracks: a data track (containing autostart windows
|
|
|
23 playback program, karaoke data etc) and a mode-2 track (the movie), so try
|
|
|
24 -vcd 2 first!<BR>
|
|
|
25 - the default VCD device is /dev/cdrom. if your device differs, then you have
|
|
|
26 to make a symlink, or specify it in command line!
|

27 </P>

|
29 <P>From Linux documentation:</P>
|
|

|
30
|
|
1682
|
31 <P>Some CDROM drives are capable of changing their head-speed. There are several
|
|
|
32 reasons for changing the speed of a CDROM drive. Badly pressed CDROMs may
|
|
|
33 benefit from less-than-maximum head rate. Modern CDROM drives can obtain very
|
|
|
34 high head rates (up to 24-times is common). It has been reported that these
|
|
|
35 drives can make reading errors at these high speeds, reducing the speed can
|
|
|
36 prevent data loss in these circumstances. Finally, some of these drives can
|
|
|
37 make an annoyingly loud noise, which a lower speed may reduce.</P>
|
|
1612
|
38
|
|
1682
|
39 <P>The recommended way to do it is with a program called 'setcd' . It's kinda
|
|
|
40 old, but won't be too hard to find on the Net. (UPDATE : new hdparm
|
|
|
41 has an option for this !)
|
|
|
42 Use it with :</P>
|
|
|
43
|
|
|
44 <P> <CODE>setcd -x [speed] [cdrom device]</CODE></P>
|
|
1612
|
45
|
|
1682
|
46 <P>Also you can try:</P>
|
|
|
47
|
|
|
48 <P> <CODE>echo current_speed:4 >/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE></P>
|
|
|
49
|
|
|
50 <P>but you'll need root privileges. I use following command too:</P>
|
|
|
51
|
|
|
52 <P> <CODE>echo file_readahead:2000000 >/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE></P>
|
|
1612
|
53
|
|
1682
|
54 <P>for 2MB prefetched reading from the file (it's useful for scratched CDROMs).
|
|
|
55 It's recommended that you tuneup your CDROM drive also with hdparm:</P>
|
|
|
56
|
|
|
57 <P> <CODE>hdparm -d1 -a8 -u1 (cdrom device)</CODE></P>
|
|
1612
|
58
|
|
1682
|
59 <P>to enable using DMA access, readahead, and IRQ unmasking.
|
|
|
60 (if you don't understand these, *read the hdparm manpage*)</P>
|
|
1612
|
61
|
|
1682
|
62 <P>Please refer to "<CODE>/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE>" for fine-tuning your
|
|
|
63 CDROM.</P>

67 <P>Yes, the real DVD support has been arrived. You don't need to play VOB files
|
|
|
68 manually from disk thinking of the purpose of a file in the video_ts
|
|
|
69 directory, you don't need worry it it's an encrypted disk or not (in old
|
|
|
70 <B>MPlayer</B> you had to put '-dvdauth /dev/dvd' into the command line in case
|
|
|
71 of encrypted discs), and you don't need even mount your disk to be able to
|
|
4057
|
72 play (but mounting it makes Linux cache the cracked CSS keys, so the playing
|
|
|
73 will initialize much faster second time).</P>

75 <P>IMPORTANT NOTE: please _DO_NOT_ require further features for DVD playback.

77 we're busy with hunting bugs and implementing basic DVD player features.</P>

1612

78

2001
|
79 <P><B>MPlayer</B> uses libdvdread which has got built in support for IFO
|
|
|
80 parsing, reading navi blocks and doing authentication/descrambling. libdvdread
|
|
|
81 uses libdvdcss to the latter tasks. So you will need libdvdcss and libdvdread
|
|

82 downloaded, compiled and installed BEFORE you run ./configure script of
