But i get the following error now when testing ogle's ability to read a DVD: [root@nomad dev]# ogle -u cli /dev/dvd Build: Linux 2.4.18-3 #1 Thu Apr 18 07:32:41 EDT 2002 i686 unknown Mon Aug 5 21:58:55 CEST 2002 mmx Xv oss Runtime: Linux 2.4.18-14 #1 Wed Sep 4 13:35:50 EDT 2002 i686 i686 Note[ogle_ctrl]: ogle 0.8.5 Debug[ogle_ctrl]: Started /usr/lib/ogle/ogle_cli with pid 26147 Debug[ogle_ctrl]: Started /usr/lib/ogle/ogle_nav with pid 26148 Debug[ogle_ctrl]: Started /usr/lib/ogle/ogle_vout with pid 26149 Debug[ogle_ctrl]: Started /usr/lib/ogle/ogle_mpeg_ps with pid 26150 Debug[ogle_vout]: CLK_TCK: 100 Debug[ogle_nav]: Opening DVD at "/dev/dvd" libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.2 for DVD access libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO. vm: faild to read VIDEO_TS.IFO Debug[ogle_ctrl]: child: 26148 exited with 1 Debug[ogle_ctrl]: pid: 26148 exited with status: 1 Debug[ogle_ctrl]: child: 26147 killed Debug[ogle_ctrl]: pid: 26147 terminated on signal: 2 Debug[ogle_ctrl]: child: 26150 killed Debug[ogle_ctrl]: pid: 26150 terminated on signal: 2 Debug[ogle_ctrl]: slaying child: 26149 Debug[ogle_ctrl]: removing shmid: 50004003 Note[ogle_ctrl]: exiting getting closer, but still no cigar...any ideas?!?
