DVD Playback slow


Has anybody on this forum been having problems playing dvds ? DVD playback for me in Warty ( Ubuntu's previous version ) was good , fast with no problems
but when I upgraded to Hoary Hedgehog ,DVDs where unwatcheable.

I found the solution and had to do with enabling DMA for my DVD drive :

"hdparm -d1 /dev/hdd"

I'm just wondering if this affected anyone else or if there was a setup option
that I forgot to set during setup.

If you had problems similar to this ,its probably DMA on the drive .

From what I've read about Linux DVD playback, this seems to be one of the top causes of playback problems (other than missing codecs / libraries for encrypted DVDs). At least you've spotted it and solved your problems.

I'm using Kubuntu and had the same problem with xine, "hdparm -d1 /dev/hdd" solved the problem. Kaffeine told me to do so lol
