[MPlayer-users] DVD playing problems

[Nilmoni Deb]

Using current mplayer/libavcodec cvs on mandrake-9.0/gcc-3.2. Using
compatible DVD drive + DVD disc (region 1). I read the
http://www.MPlayerHQ.hu/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/main/DOCS/cd-dvd.html?rev=1.51&content-type=text/html&sortby=date
Surprisingly, this has example commands for playing vcd but not a single
one for dvd playback.

Started mplayer with:

	mplayer -v -vo x11 -zoom -framedrop -dvd-device /dev/cdrom1 -dvd 2

This started playing the DVD ok but skipped large chunks of the movie. Its
like playing frames 1-100, then 200-400, then 600-800 and so on. Obviously
seeking behaves similarly, jumping several minutes instead of 10secs. As
this happens, mplayer produces output like this:

Adding filter dummy
[dummy] Was reinitialized, rate=48000Hz, nch = 2, format = 0x00000010 and
bps = 2
[dummy] Was reinitialized, rate=48000Hz, nch = 2, format = 0x00000010 and
bps = 2

Surprisingly, the command:

	mplayer -v -vo x11 -zoom -framedrop -dvd-device /dev/cdrom1 -dvd 1

plays just fine with no seeking problems.
