DVD Playback
Hi there,
Never had a problem playing a DVD video on Mandriva LE 2005 before until now. I have an original DVD that has 6 episodes on it, the first 3 play fine, but the remaining 3 wont play (Choppy sound only) The whole DVD plays fine on a standalone DVD player and my Windows computer. So far I`ve tried several players and re-installed dvdcss any ideas would be great as I have run out of them heheh :) |
what app? is you cpu being pegged when it's skipping? make sure you try mplayer, it rocks.
|
I`ve tried Kaffiene, Mplayer, Totem and Xine, same problem with them all, Episodes 1,2 & 3 on the DVD play back perfect, but episodes 4, 5 & 6 on the same DVD have ok audio with choppy pixalated video.
CPU useage is low. I get the feeling it`s not decrypting the second half of the DVD. |
it is decrypting it otherwise you wouldn't be able to see or hear anything. Do you have this problem with any other DVDs?
|
what if you use say, mplayer to dump the video to a file first before watching it? might hint at wether it's hardware issues, deciding or such.

Interesting.....

I really believe there is something incorrect about the recent version of libdvdcss-1.2.9. I'm also having problems playing DVD's in Mandriva and they all give DVD errors with all different players (Kaffeine, Totem, VLC). THe same DVD's I try work fine in Windows and on my DVD entertainment system.
Maybe we should try a previous version of libdvdcss? I remember DVD's play fine when I was using Mandrake 9.2. |
Tried several versions of css no luck though, wonder what else it could be, thanks for you help :)
|
I get a choppy DVD playback on Kaffeine and Xine, while the same disk plays great with VLC. Any suggestion ?
