And if so, is it a symlink to /dev/sr0 (or just sr0)? If you have no /dev/dvd, can you create one: ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/dvd One of my computers has a /dev/cdrom which is a symlink to /dev/sr0, but none of my computers seem to have a /dev/dvd at all. > The only thing that I can do is to view the file: > /run/media/pdupre/ROUBLEV/VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.VOB > > WHich shouldme access to the rest of the DVD, but then I get an error message: > cannot find ....... Can you override the /dev/dvd device in whatever software you are trying to use to instead use /dev/sr0? > Any idea? > > Thank. > > =========================================================================== > Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre@xxxxxxx > Laboratoire de Physico-Chimie de l'Atmosphère | | > Université du Littoral-Côte d'Opale | | > Tel.
