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!

29 <P>From Linux documentation:</P>
30
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>
38
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>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<CODE>setcd -x [speed] [cdrom device]</CODE></P>
45
46 <P>Also you can try:</P>
47
48 <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<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>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<CODE>echo file_readahead:2000000 >/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE></P>
53
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>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<CODE>hdparm -d1 -a8 -u1 (cdrom device)</CODE></P>
58
59 <P>to enable using DMA access, readahead, and IRQ unmasking.
60 (if you don't understand these, *read the hdparm manpage*)</P>
61
62 <P>Please refer to "<CODE>/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE>" for fine-tuning your
63 CDROM.</P>
64
65 <P><B><A NAME=4.2>4.2. DVD playback</A></B></P>
66
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
72 play :)</P>
73
74 <P>IMPORTANT NOTE: please _DO_NOT_ require further features for DVD playback.
75 This is the first version of some real DVD support inside <B>MPlayer</B> and
76 we're busy with hunting bugs and implementing basic DVD player features.</P>
77
78 <P><B>MPlayer</B> uses libdvdread which has got built in support for IFO
79 parsing, reading navi blocks and doing authentication/descrambling. libdvdread
80 uses libdvdcss to the latter tasks. So you will need libdvdcss and libdvdread
81 downloaded, compiled and installed BEFORE you run ./configure script of
82 <B>MPlayer</B> which will autodetect libdvdread for you in this way.</P>
83
84 <UL>
85 <LI><P><B>Download source of libdvdread and libdvdcss.</B></P>

87 <P><I>You can download them from

89 (click 'download' in the menu at the left, and you can find libdvdcss and
90 libdvdread in a table).</I></P>
91
92 <P><B><I>IMPORTANT !</I></B><BR>
93 For
94 <UL>
95 <LI>libdvdread 0.8 - you'll need <B>libcss</B> instead of libdvdcss</LI>
96 <LI>libdvdread 0.9 - you'll need <B>libdvdcss 0.0.3</B> ! Don't use newer
97 versions, they won't work!</LI>
98 <LI>For example <B><U>never</U></B> use libdvdcss <B>1.0</B>, it will be unusably slow!</LI>
99 </UL>
100 </P>
101 </LI>
102
103 <LI><P><B>Compile and install libdvdcss THEN libdvdread.</B></P>
104
105 <P><I>Read documentation of these packages to do this step easily.</I></P></LI>
106
107 <LI><P><B>Recompile MPlayer.</B></P>
108
109 <P><I>Run <CODE>./configure</CODE>. If you install libdvdread correctly, ./configure
110 says something similar:<BR><CODE>Checking for DVDread support ... yes</CODE><BR>
111 (Of course you can put your favourite configure options into the command
112 line when you run ./configure). That's it! Say: <CODE>make</CODE>, then <CODE>make install</CODE>.</I></P></LI>
113 </UL>
114
115 <P>Of course after installing libdvdcss and libdvdread you don't need recompile
116 them at each time when you want to recompile <B>MPlayer</B> (from a new CVS version
117 for example) since the needed packages have already been installed on your
118 machine.</P>

173 <B>MPlayer</B> currently does not use all of information of IFO blocks from DVD.
174 You can adjust the right DVD audio stream with: '-aid 128' command line
175 option, where 128 is the stream id of requested audio stream. You can
176 experience with numbers of 128,129,... and so on. Of course this problem
