[MPlayer-users] Problem playing DVD through USB 2.0

[Lars Olesen]

I have been trying to get DVD playback working.
I am using a Pioneer DVD rom (IDE) drive connected to
a IDE/USB 2.0 converter.

I have an internal DVD rom drive in that machine, and on that machine
playback works fine.
When I use the "USB" DVD drive I can play unencrypted DVD's without
problems, but
"normal" encrypted ones can't be read by mplayer.
I have tried two other open source programs as well, they are ogle and vlc
with similar results.

Today I tried the playback from the "USB" DVD drive using windvd on a w2k
machine, and using
that combination it worked although windows made the actaual playback
jerky.

Can anyone explain to me why this doesn't work with linux
and opensource (mplayer) DVD players ?
Can it be fixed ?
