Well, I've spent a good few hours this evening building various revisions of mplayer (this is all done WITHOUT the patch that's been discussed here). What I know for sure is that the mplayer that ships with Ubuntu 9.10 DOES exhibit the problem described in this thread. Ubuntu 9.10 reports: MPlayer UNKNOWN-4.4.1 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team The good news, for me at least, is that at r29814 (which at the time of writing is almost up-to-date with the trunk) the problem is no longer there for me. I did this: $svn co svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk -r 29814 $./configure --enable-gui $make $./mplayer MPlayer SVN-r29814-4.4.1 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team For the record, I use this command to play... mplayer -slave -quiet -dvd-device /home/dvd/SomeMovie.iso dvd://1 ...and it's all working fine again. I think there must have been some intervening revisions where this didn't work, but I can't pin that down, and it's moot now anyway.
