CD-ROM drives</A></B></P> <P>Playing standard Video CDs:</P> <P> mplayer -vcd <I>trackno</I> [-cdrom-device device]<BR><BR> Examples:<BR> mplayer -vcd 1<BR> mplayer -fs -vcd 2 -cdrom-device /dev/hdc<BR> </P> <P> Notes:<BR> - Do NOT mount VCD disks and play DAT files directly! It may work under windows but won't work under linux. You have to play them directly, with the -vcd option!<BR> - VCD disks usually have 2 tracks: a data track (containing autostart windows playback program, karaoke data etc) and a mode-2 track (the movie), so try -vcd 2 first!<BR> - the default VCD device is /dev/cdrom. if your device differs, then you have to make a symlink, or specify it in command line! </P> <P>From Linux documentation:</P> <P>Some CDROM drives are capable of changing their head-speed. There are several reasons for changing the speed of a CDROM drive. Badly pressed CDROMs may benefit from less-than-maximum head rate. Modern CDROM drives can obtain very high head rates (up to 24-times is common). It has been reported that these drives can make reading errors at these high speeds, reducing the speed can prevent data loss in these circumstances. Finally, some of these drives can make an annoyingly loud noise, which a lower speed may reduce.</P> <P>The recommended way to do it is with a program called 'setcd' . It's kinda old, but won't be too hard to find on the Net. (UPDATE : new hdparm has an option for this !) Use it with :</P> <P> <CODE>setcd -x [speed] [cdrom device]</CODE></P> <P>Also you can try:</P> <P> <CODE>echo current_speed:4 >/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE></P> <P>but you'll need root privileges. I use following command too:</P> <P> <CODE>echo file_readahead:2000000 >/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE></P> <P>for 2MB prefetched reading from the file (it's useful for scratched CDROMs). It's recommended that you tuneup your CDROM drive also with hdparm:</P> <P> <CODE>hdparm -d1 -a8 -u1 (cdrom device)</CODE></P> <P>to enable using DMA access, readahead, and IRQ unmasking. (if you don't understand these, *read the hdparm manpage*)</P> <P>Please refer to "<CODE>/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE>" for fine-tuning your CDROM.</P> <P><B><A NAME=4.2>4.2. DVD playback</A></B></P> <P><B>MPlayer</B> uses <CODE>libdvdread</CODE> and <CODE>libdvdcss</CODE> for DVD decryption and playing. These two libraries are contained in the <CODE>libmpdvdkit/</CODE> subdirectory in the <B>MPlayer</B> tree, you don't have to install them separately. We opt for this solution because we had to fix a libdvdread bug, and apply a patch which adds <B>cracked CSS keys caching support</B> for libdvdcss (results in large speed increase before playing).
