28 Notes:<BR>
29 - Do NOT mount VCD disks and play DAT files directly! It may work under windows
30 but won't work under linux. You have to play them directly, with the -vcd
31 option!<BR>
32 - VCD disks usually have 2 tracks: a data track (containing autostart windows
33 playback program, karaoke data etc) and a mode-2 track (the movie), so try
34 -vcd 2 first!<BR>
35 - the default VCD device is /dev/cdrom. if your device differs, then you have
36 to make a symlink, or specify it in command line!
37 </P>
38
39 <P>From Linux documentation:</P>
40
41 <P>Some CDROM drives are capable of changing their head-speed. There are several
42 reasons for changing the speed of a CDROM drive. Badly pressed CDROMs may
43 benefit from less-than-maximum head rate. Modern CDROM drives can obtain very
44 high head rates (up to 24-times is common). It has been reported that these
45 drives can make reading errors at these high speeds, reducing the speed can
46 prevent data loss in these circumstances. Finally, some of these drives can
47 make an annoyingly loud noise, which a lower speed may reduce.</P>
48
49 <P>The recommended way to do it is with a program called 'setcd' . It's kinda
50 old, but won't be too hard to find on the Net. (UPDATE : new hdparm
51 has an option for this !)
52 Use it with :</P>
53
54 <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<CODE>setcd -x [speed] [cdrom device]</CODE></P>
55
56 <P>Also you can try:</P>
57
58 <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<CODE>echo current_speed:4 >/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE></P>
59
60 <P>but you'll need root privileges. I use following command too:</P>
61
62 <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<CODE>echo file_readahead:2000000 >/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE></P>
63
64 <P>for 2MB prefetched reading from the file (it's useful for scratched CDROMs).
65 It's recommended that you tuneup your CDROM drive also with hdparm:</P>
66
67 <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<CODE>hdparm -d1 -a8 -u1 (cdrom device)</CODE></P>
68
69 <P>to enable using DMA access, readahead, and IRQ unmasking.
70 (if you don't understand these, *read the hdparm manpage*)</P>
71
72 <P>Please refer to "<CODE>/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE>" for fine-tuning your
73 CDROM.</P>

76
77 <P><B>MPlayer</B> uses <CODE>libdvdread</CODE> and <CODE>libdvdcss</CODE> for
78 DVD decryption and playing. These two libraries are contained in the
79 <CODE>libmpdvdkit/</CODE> subdirectory in the <B>MPlayer</B> tree, you
80 don't have to install them separately. We opt for this solution because
81 we had to fix a libdvdread bug, and apply a patch which adds
82 <B>cracked CSS keys caching support</B> for libdvdcss (results in large
83 speed increase before playing). These cracked keys are stored in
84 <CODE>$HOME/.mplayer/DVDKeys</CODE> directory.</P>
85
86 <P>Support for <CODE>dvdnav</CODE> is being added (not usable now).</P>
87
88 <LI><P><B>Old-style DVD support - <I>OPTIONAL</I></B></P>
89
90 <P><I>Useful if you want to play encoded VOB's from hard disk. Compile and
91 install <B>libcss</B> 0.0.1 (not newer) (if <B>MPlayer</B> can't detect
92 it, use the <CODE>-csslib /path/to/libcss.so</CODE> option).</P></LI>
93
94 <LI><P><B>Compile MPlayer.</B></P>
95
96 <P>Run <CODE>./configure</CODE>. If you didn't delete
97 <CODE>libmpdvdkit</CODE> subdirectory from MPlayer tree, ./configure should
98 say the following:</P>
99
100 <P><CODE>Checking for DVD support (libmpdvdkit) ... yes</CODE></P>
101
102 <P>(of course you can put your favourite configure options into the command
103 line when you run ./configure)</P>
104
105 <P><B>MPlayer</B> can use <CODE>libdvdread</CODE> and <CODE>libdvdcss</CODE>
106 libraries installed system-wide, but this solution is NOT RECOMMENDED, as
107 can result in bugs, library incompatibilities, and slower speed.</P>
108
109 <P>Either way, say: <CODE>make</CODE>, then <CODE>make install</CODE>.</P>
