dvd creation in linux


Greetings!

I got a dvd burner for xmas and now .. it's time to actually try it out. Well, I already tried just that my dvd player didn't understand the disc.

So .. I'm asking before I run out and buy a new dvd player. What tips & tricks and/or software works the best with linux?

Distro : Mandrake 10.1
DVD Player : apex AD-1010W

Got some maxell dvd-r's and some fujifilm dvd+rw's. It'd be cool to actually use the hardware I have!

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure what your actual problem is. Are you saying that your brand new dvd BURNER wont read a factory disc or is it another dvd READER that craps out. How did you ascertain this lack of funtionality?

Your trouble is simply to solve!

Todays distro like Mandrake 10.1 SuSe 9.2 and maybe other that I haven't tried do to legal and copyright issues don't support anymore DVD viewing.

It's depend to the lack of a library (libdvdcss) that the above distros don't include necessary to unencrypt DVD contents.

Download and install the library from the bottom link.
It's for Fedora fc1 but should work for mandrake also.
On my mandrake 10.1 I use libdvdcss from RedHat 9 but it works great and I can view all DVD's I want.

Let me know!

If your problem is only burning related upgrade to latest dvd+rw-tools!

Just to add to what walker stated:

With some distributions you also need to replace the distributions' xine components with the original components from the xine project (or from rpmfind, rpmbone, etc.) - simply replacing livdvdcss isn't enough in some cases because the binaries have been modified to detect decryption of DVDs and display a message rather than accept the decrypted data.

Simply uninstall all xine components (but you can keep noatune and other components installed) then install xine libs, the xine GUI, libdvdcss, and of course the windows codec compatibility libraries if you want to view more than just mpg video.
