Question Xine and SVCD


I can't seem to play a SVCD I have (it plays on my DVD player on my HDTV, so i know it works) on Xine. I have my DVD drive on my computer mounted and it works cuz i can play dvd videos just fine. But when I click on vcd xine spits out an error saying it can't find a file. Did I miss something, and how can i fix this?

if you also have a cdrom drive, try it in there - that's probably the default vcd device

or from a command line:
xine vcd:///dev/dvd

I am such a . It worked when I put it in my cdrom (actually a cd burner) drive. It seems I forgot that (S)VCD's can be run from any cdrom drive. Now I can watch my Girls Gone Wild DVD->SVCD video.
