DVD codec

ok, i MIGHT not have a link to my DVD druve in my dev drive. i can read dvd cd's and the files inside them, but i cant play them, meaning my dvd drive WILL read dvd's, but the player wont play them. does this mean i do have a link ?

how do i make a link to my dvd drive in the /dev directory ?

ln -s /dev/hdX /dev/dvd

you can still just use

mplayer -dvd 1 -dvd-device /dev/hdX

but it's obviously neater.... afaik all dvd applications use /dev/dvd as a suitable default.

i got it to work, but, another question arises, how do i make it full screen, i mean, i use window maker, and the best i can do it click on MAXIMIZE window. is there like a hotkey that maximizes ?

also, how do i skip chapters ?

other than these, im ok to go

thanks for all the help guys

you can't skip chapters, instead jsut up left/right up/down and pgup/pgdown to navigate through a track
