Dear list readers - I am interested in seeing what the general community prefers for a DVD player. Being fairly new to DVD, i have a Sony Vaio laptop with a DVD-ROM installed, as evidenced by the following from dmesg: hdc: TORiSAN DVD-ROM DRD-U624, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive .. (later in dmesg, some more interesting messages) hdc: ATAPI DVD-ROM drive, 256kB Cache Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12 cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize! Now, from the LiViD docs, which admittedly are rather weak, and the LDP DVD-HowTo, I ran mknod and created the following devices/symlinks /dev/raw1lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 11 16:07 /dev/dvd -> /dev/cdrom crw-rw---- 1 root disk 162, 0 Aug 30 19:31 /dev/rawctl crw-r--r-- 1 root root 162, 1 Oct 11 16:07 /dev/raw1 however i cannot get ogle, or even livid apps to work correctly as the system doesnt recognize the dvd tracks on disk in the drive. Can anyone give me any additional pointers? Whats everyone's favorite player? And how does one really get these types of devices work properly? Thanks in advance. Michael Weiner
