[MPlayer-cygwin] mpdvdkit on mingw

[Gábor Békési]

Hi All.

I have downloaded and tested the mplayer_experimental_sse.
(Background: I'm a happy mplayer user since 0.60, but unfortu-
nately nowadays I'm stucked with my company laptop and the
best I could get was a Cygwin compile without DVD support...
and that's what I really need. I have a USB2 external DVD drive
for the laptop, and some misterious way the currently
available live-linux distros do not support it.)

Generally the DVD playback went smoothly, but I had the following
issues:  (I have tested with the LOTR extended versinon's first disc)
- If start to play the disc with simply dvd://, the player crashes...
  no error messages... I have inoked the -v -v option so maybe I can
  show something to You... then the playback went smoothly...
   without crashes.
- The playback also starts nicely, if I start from chapter 2 and then
   rewind back to the start of the movie. So this solves my problem.
-  mplayer can play the whole movie BUT it's not possible to seek
    after the first 33minutes... the playback jumps back to the begin-
    ning of the movie. Also if I try to start the playback from chapters
    after the first half hour, I get a "libdvdread cannot seek to xxxxxxxxx"
    message.

I'm sorry, that I cannot give some output showing the errors, but there
is no such. So I cannot report the way it's requested by the manual.
:-/// So take this just as a feedback. ;->

Sincerely
Gábor Békési
