| 1704 | 11 |
| 1612 | 12 |
| 6907 | 13 <P><B><A NAME="drives">4.1 CD/DVD drives</A></B></P> |
| 1682 | 14 |
| 6877 | 15 <P>Linux documentation excerpt:</P> |
| 1612 | 16 |
| 6878 | 17 <P>Modern CD-ROM drives can attain very high head speeds, yet some CD-ROM drives |
| 18 are capable of running at reduced speeds. There are several reasons that might | |
| 19 make you consider changing the speed of a CD-ROM drive:</P> | |
| 20 | |
| 21 <UL> | |
| 22 <LI>Ther have been reports of read errors at these high speeds, especially | |
| 23 with badly pressed CD-ROMs. Reducing the speed can prevent data loss under | |
| 24 these circumstances.</LI> | |
| 25 <LI>Many CD-ROM drives are annoyingly loud, a lower speed may reduce the | |
| 26 noise.</LI> | |
| 27 </UL> | |
| 1612 | 28 |
| 6877 | 29 <P>You can reduce the drive speed with hdparm or a program called setcd. |
| 30 It works like this:</P> | |
| 31 | |
| 32 <P> <CODE>hdparm -E [speed] [cdrom device]</CODE></P> | |
| 1682 | 33 |
| 34 <P> <CODE>setcd -x [speed] [cdrom device]</CODE></P> | |
| 1612 | 35 |
| 6877 | 36 <P>You can also try</P> |
| 1682 | 37 |
| 38 <P> <CODE>echo current_speed:4 >/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE></P> | |
| 39 | |
| 6877 | 40 <P>but you will need root privileges. The following command may also help:</P> |
| 1682 | 41 |
| 42 <P> <CODE>echo file_readahead:2000000 >/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE></P> | |
| 1612 | 43 |
| 6877 | 44 <P>This sets prefetched file reading to 2MB, which helps with scratched CD-ROMs. |
| 45 It is recommended that you also tune your CD-ROM drive with hdparm:</P> | |
| 1682 | 46 |
| 47 <P> <CODE>hdparm -d1 -a8 -u1 (cdrom device)</CODE></P> | |
| 1612 | 48 |
| 6877 | 49 <P>This enables DMA access, read-ahead, and IRQ unmasking (read the hdparm man |
| 50 page for a detailed explanation).</P> | |
| 1612 | 51 |
| 6877 | 52 <P>Please refer to "<CODE>/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE>" for |
| 53 fine-tuning your CD-ROM.</P> | |

56 <P><B><A NAME="dvd">4.2 DVD playback</A></B></P> |
| 1682 | 57 |
| 5859 | 58 <P><B>MPlayer</B> uses <CODE>libdvdread</CODE> and <CODE>libdvdcss</CODE> for |
| 6877 | 59 DVD decryption and playback. These two libraries are contained in the |
| 60 <CODE>libmpdvdkit/</CODE> subdirectory of the <B>MPlayer</B> source tree, you | |
| 61 do not have to install them separately. We opted for this solution because | |
| 5859 | 62 we had to fix a libdvdread bug, and apply a patch which adds |
| 6877 | 63 <B>cracked CSS keys caching support</B> to libdvdcss. This results in a large |
| 64 speed increase because the keys do not have to be cracked every time before | |
| 65 playing. The cracked keys are stored in the | |
| 66 <CODE>~/.mplayer/DVDKeys</CODE> directory.</P> | |
| 1612 | 67 |
| 6877 | 68 <P><B>MPlayer</B> can also use system-wide <CODE>libdvdread</CODE> and |
| 69 <CODE>libdvdcss</CODE> libraries, but this solution is <B>not</B> recommended, | |
| 70 as it can result in bugs, library incompatibilities, and slower speed.</P> | |
| 71 | |
| 72 <P>Support for DVD navigation via <CODE>dvdnav</CODE> is being worked on, but | |
| 73 not finished yet.</P> | |

| 6909 | 155 <LI>Do <B>not</B> mount VCDs to play the DAT files directly! It may work |

| 158 <LI>VCD disks usually have 2 tracks: a data track (containing autostart | |
| 159 Windows playback program, karaoke data etc) and a mode-2 track (the movie). | |
| 160 So try <CODE>-vcd 2</CODE> first.</LI> | |
| 161 <LI>The default VCD device is <CODE>/dev/cdrom</CODE>. If your setup differs, | |
| 162 make a symlink, or specify the correct device on the command line with the | |
| 163 <CODE>-cdrom-device</CODE> option.</LI> | |
