Hi list,

while trying to read the DVD of The Dark Knight, libdvdread4 throws the following assertion:

*** libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in ifo_read.c:1914 *** *** for pgci_ut->nr_of_lus < 100 ***

This error repeates once more and the the whole machine gets really, really slow. I am not a DVD expert so I hope someone can make something out of this. If you need any more information, I'd be happy to provide it.

Cheers, Markus from your email address I assume you're talking about the german dvd.

This DVD is protected by something called Protect-X which scrambles the file system infos on the disk and there must be a patch applied in order to read the disk. You need dvdnav for it, also.

So:

mplayer dvdnav://1

from a current SVN version should do the job (AFAIK the patch for the incorrect file system infos is in it for now over a year).

-- cheers, Alex

Hi Alex, yes, it's the german version and odly, dvdnav://1 works quite well, where dvd://1 doesn't. Does dvd:// use other libs that dvdnav? Thanks so far, Markus -- GRATIS für alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT! Jetzt freischalten unter http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/maxdome01
