Unencrypted DVD playback

[cbudden]

Hello, I have libdvdcss2 install which enables me to play back commercial DVD's. If I want to watch a unencrypted dvd (like from a tv dvd burner) I have to remove the libdvdcss2 package, otherwise it does not work. This is the terminal output from totem when trying to play a unencrypted dvd with libdvdcss2 installed:

(totem:11857): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_accel_label_set_accel_closure: assertion `gtk_accel_group_from_accel_closure (accel_closure) != NULL' failed

(totem:11857): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_accel_label_set_accel_closure: assertion `gtk_accel_group_from_accel_closure (accel_closure) != NULL' failed
libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 1.0.1 from http://xine.sf.net
libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.8 for DVD access

And when it is removed

I am using Ubuntu 5.10

thanks in advance.

Have you tried other players and what is the format of the files on the DVD?

try mplayer---it can read about anything.

If I use open location, and select /media/cdrom0, the dvd plays fine in both mplayer and totem.

Hopefully this is the right forum. Don't slap me if it is not please

Hi,

I am a Suse 9.3 Linux newbie. I love linux so far, but am trying to figure out how to play dvds, quiktime, and wmvs etc.

So i downloaded MPlayer-1.0pre7.tar.bz2
I extracted it
did an ls
downloaded a C compiler
then ./config
then make
then make install

now I can't find the MPlayer icon anywhere

I went into the Konsole and typed mplayer and this is what i got:


Usage: mplayer [options] [url|path/]filename

Basic options: (complete list in the man page)
-vo <drv[:dev]> select video output driver & device ('-vo help' for a list)
-ao <drv[:dev]> select audio output driver & device ('-ao help' for a list)
vcd://<trackno> play (S)VCD (Super Video CD) track (raw device, no mount)
dvd://<titleno> play DVD title from device instead of plain file
-alang/-slang select DVD audio/subtitle language (by 2-char country code)
-ss <timepos> seek to given (seconds or hh:mm:ss) position
-nosound do not play sound
-fs fullscreen playback (or -vm, -zoom, details in the man page)
-x <x> -y <y> set display resolution (for use with -vm or -zoom)
-sub <file> specify subtitle file to use (also see -subfps, -subdelay)
-playlist <file> specify playlist file
-vid x -aid y select video (x) and audio (y) stream to play
-fps x -srate y change video (x fps) and audio (y Hz) rate
-pp <quality> enable postprocessing filter (details in the man page)
-framedrop enable frame dropping (for slow machines)

Basic keys: (complete list in the man page, also check input.conf)
<- or -> seek backward/forward 10 seconds
up or down seek backward/forward 1 minute
pgup or pgdown seek backward/forward 10 minutes
< or > step backward/forward in playlist
p or SPACE pause movie (press any key to continue)
q or ESC stop playing and quit program
+ or - adjust audio delay by +/- 0.1 second
o cycle OSD mode: none / seekbar / seekbar + timer
* or / increase or decrease PCM volume
z or x adjust subtitle delay by +/- 0.1 second
r or t adjust subtitle position up/down, also see -vf expand

* * * SEE THE MAN PAGE FOR DETAILS, FURTHER (ADVANCED) OPTIONS AND KEYS * *

I don't know how to start playing dvds from Konsole. What commands do I use? Also how would I play wmvs from Konsole?
Any idea what I should do now?

Thanks,

Tsai

Just type "mplayer" then the file you want to play.
