Thanks Michael.

I'm having all sorts of trouble at present with the drive
labeled as a dvd rom drive on my PC.

I usually mount it as /dev/cd0d as a cdrom device.
No problems.

And I'm pretty sure it's the same for dvd's as in:  /dev/cd0d.


But gmplayer can't work with it, I get :

Failed to open dvd://1.

Like what????????????



And dvdrip says
check dvd device in preferences and don't forget to put a
dvd in the drive !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As if it can't see a thing.
It DOES have /dev/cd0d in prefs.


I don't know what's going on.
I'm pulling my hair out here. For DAYS.


It doesn't make sense.

ANY ideas appreciated people PLEASE.

- how to test the dvd drive another way?
- do I need anything special in kernel?
- any ideas on why gmplayer or dvdrip behave this way?
- any ideas or info at all?

Please tell me also if this is the wrong list for this question.

and ask me any question you like:)

many thanks ,
Paul.
