LinDVD Drive Assignment


Hi all,

I've just installed the discovery version of Mandriva 2007 that includes the commercial packages including LinDVD. I've seen the posts where people are claiming it is working right out of the box (so to speak).

However, for me, LinDVD appears to have incorrectly assigned my DVD drive.

In my fstab my DVD burner (hdc) is mounted at /mnt/dvd and my cdrom burner (hdd) is mounted at /mnt/cdrom

However, LinDVD indicates that it is trying to use /mnt/cdrom (it may even say cdrom2 as I can't see all the words). Unlike what I would expect from a linux program, I can't find any file or option to change this. The only directory in my /home directory for LinDVD has a directory tree that looks like a Windows reg file.

Any suggestions?

I'd assume you're a club member considering you got all the commercial goodness? Why not post to the club forums?

I'm not getting a response to the same post on the Club forums so thought I'd try the greater collective.

I am unsure if this is correct, but I found this in another thread:
