I realise I wasn't to clear on my problem. mplayer complains there is a
missing codecs.conf file - thus
MPlayer CVS-011215-05:00-2.95.4 (C) 2000-2001 Arpad Gereoffy (see DOCS!)
CPU vendor name: AuthenticAMD max cpuid level: 1
CPU: Advanced Micro Devices Athlon TB Thunderbird (Type: 6, Stepping: 2)
extended cpuid-level: 6
CPUflags: Type: 6 MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 0 SSE2: 0
Reading /home/alan/.mplayer/codecs.conf: can't open
'/home/alan/.mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory
Reading /usr/local/share/mplayer/codecs.conf: can't open
'/usr/local/share/mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory
(copy/ln etc/codecs.conf (from MPlayer source tree) to ~/.mplayer/codecs.conf)
Terminated
HOWEVER - I fixed that problem (now I have another) by finding the file in
the source tree like it says.
Now it just complains it can't read the headers thus
alan@kanger:/dev$ mplayer -vcd 2 /dev/dvd

(I just checked the permissions in /dev/dvd - these look fine)
