Hey, > Did you try dvdnav:// instead of dvd:// ? Now, yes. dvdnav:// succeeds in playing, however, way to slow (might be my old hardware). -dumpstream also succeeded, so at least I can watch the movie. > (And complete, uncut output missing.) I can't reproduce the error, even with dvd://. I think this points to my DVD device as the culprit. Never buy Sony! Sorry to bother and thanks for the help. as
