Re: Using DVD

[Alejandro Matos <amatos@gmail.com>]

Ok, let's see:

$ ls -l /dev/hdd
brw-rw----  1 root cdrom 22, 64 2004-07-22 22:54 /dev/hdd

$ ls -l /dev/dvd
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 8 2004-09-07 14:22 /dev/dvd -> /dev/hdd

$ groups
alejandro dialout cdrom floppy audio video

Well, i could see a dvd for only 24 secs and nothing more, no audio.
Then i changed the dvd and i can't see it anymore, the message is
this:

"couldn't open /dev/dvd"

Hope that someone can help :)

Thanks

Alejandro
