Hey, I recently had a problem playing a newly bought DVD. The movie would stop at aproximately 3/4 of the total lenght. No errors were displayed. The command line I used to play the DVD was: $ mplayer -v -dvd-device /mnt/dvd/ dvd://1 At 3/4 it gave me the following output: --- snippet --- missing marker bit! DVD Seek! lba=0x1AAFDD cell=12 packs: 0x1AAFDD-0x1AF16C .0% 0 0 Angle-seek synced by cell/vob IDN search!

Once it said something like END OF CELL. But he found a new cell to play (whatever this means). It has nothing to do with the DVD I guess since I had the same problem with a DVD I rented. Both movies are fairly new. I just mention this because I have not the slightest idea what could have caused it. I'm not even sure, whether this is really a problem with mplayer or my DVD device. Other movies I have play well. From the 2 DVD's that don't only one has light scratches. The other is flawless. Did anybody run into similar problems or know what may have caused it? I tried to do a -dumpstream. It also hit EOF at the same point; mkisofs didn't succeed in writing an iso. I tried it with dd but it aborted as well, although at a much later time. But I can't get mplayer to play beyong the point where the problem occurs. A seek fails ("stream_seek: WARNING! Can't seek to 0xD78B6800 !"; I used -ss 01:10:00; the problem occurs at 01:06:00 exactly). The DVD has no chapters, only 11 titles and 1 angle. Playing the .vob files directly gave only scrambled audio and video (This used to work in former times).
