Is there some trick to playing DVD's under amd64?
I have a new HP xw9300, dual 2.5 GHz cpus, 6 GB RAM, KDE -- everything
appears to work as expected -- except playing DVD's ;<
Inserting a DVD in the drive prompts some autoload process to pop up a
window, asking me what I want to do with the media identified as a DVD.
Apparently, NO software was already installed. Following did NOT give
me a clue:
dpkg -l '*dvd*'
I googled, and found ogle. I installed ogle-gui & ogle-mmx. I am able
to start viewing DVD's; even though much of the gui controls do NOT
function. Some DVD's crash as soon as I select from opening menu.
Others play as expected for indeterminate amount of time; then, poof!
ogle crashes. I restart it, playing _same_ DVD, and it invariably
crashes at some other point of play time.
/var/log _sometimes_ shows this; other times NOT:
Aug 29 23:56:25 odin kernel: hda: media error (bad sector): status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Aug 29 23:56:25 odin kernel: hda: media error (bad sector): error=0x30 { LastFailedSense=0x03 }
Aug 29 23:56:25 odin kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown
Aug 29 23:56:25 odin kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 192888
What am I missing?
What do you think?
