mplayer a52 CRC check issues

[dagnasty]

Hi,

So as some of you know mplayer often has issues with playing dvds and the presumed fixes don't work for everyone. I rented a dvd and would like to watch it on my computer but these errors won't let me.

Too many video packets in the buffer: (4096 in 8248751 bytes).
Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?
For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.

I have tried a few things in the past such as
sudo hdparm -d1 -k1 /dev/hda with no luck.



Anybody have ideas that will help me?

Usually the dvds I rent from the video store are the issue. I have a percussion dvd that will work with mplayer so mabye drm issues?


thanks

Sorry for taking three months, but I just trolled by. I have an idea, so I joined the forum. :')

I had this problem and playing the DVD with the command:
mplayer dvdnav://
solved it for me. Give it a try. (gmplayer dvdnav:// also works)

I believe this is, as you say, a "DRM" issue. I suspect that the DVD contains unreferenced audio packets that intentionally have bad checksums. By following the navigation in the DVD VM, you navigate "around" the potholes.

If you're still monitoring this, tell me if this works for you.
