Hi! I'm able to play some DVD movies with mplayer, but not all. I got following error message when playing Jackie Chan's First Strike DVD. Mplayer starts to play but after 30 sec it crashes. I'm using RedHat Linux 7.2 and Hollywood+. Any help appreciated, -Vesa- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- bash-2.05# mplayer -vc mpegpes -vo dxr3 -ao dxr3 -dvd 1 /dev/dvd MPlayer 0.60-3.0.2 (C) 2000-2002 Arpad Gereoffy (see DOCS!)
