what files do i need to get xine player working in libranet, the latest edition. have installed libdvdcss2 1.2.2-0.1, and the movie is chopping when it runs

Have you got dma enabled on your dvd player?

will check it out, was thinking the same thing last night about the dma, but was sure where to enable it ..see if i can find it on the player--thanks

Use hdparm to check and enable/disable dma
#hdparm /dev/hdc
will give statistics on /dev/hdc and tells you if its using dma
#hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdc
will enable dma on /dev/hdc

great, going to jump on the libranet rig now-will update in a bit

dma is on . i installed couple different versions of libdvdcss2 on top of each other, thinking this might be the problem?

You should add Marillat's repository. He specializes in audio video applications and gets the newest ones ready before Debian does.
You can replace unstable with testing or stable, or use multipals.

##Marillat's NON-FREE repository
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main

still getting the choppy motion playing xine in libranet. sound is okay. i installed libdvdcss2 to get the player working. it seems awfully slow getting started too. dma is enabled. not sure what the problem is. should i try another dvd play-using creative labs dvd player, maybe uncompatible hardware?

Have you tried other players? Some people have the same problems as you, but mplayer or ogle work fine for them. I saw that a new version of libxine is in unstable, so perhaps this has been fixed, but try the other players first and see if it is a hardware or software problem.

thanks, will try it. mepis works with xine , but the dvd better not have any scratches.

I use Xine on FC3. It was choppy untill i enabled dma and it has fixed the choppy-ness. Thanks
