Hi All,

Just got a shiny new PC which came with 2 DVD drives - a DVD +/-
writer (hda) and a DVD-ROM (hdb). I've installed openSuse and added
all the codecs. The writer plays all DVDs without any problems using
Xine, but they won't play in the second drive (even after updating my /
dev/dvd and /dev/cdrom links) but I can mount DVDs and browse them,
copy files out without error.

e.g.
kernit:~ # ls -l /dev/dvd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Sep 22 23:26 /dev/dvd -> hdb
kernit:~ # ls -l /dev/hdb
brw-rw-rw-+ 1 root disk 3, 64 Sep 22 21:13 /dev/hdb
kernit:/dev # xine
This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.4.

....in Xine setp/Media, changed CD audio device from /dev/cdrom to /dev/
hdb
and device for dvd playback from /dev/dvd to /dev/hdb
.....still get same error.

Anybody got any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

TIA

Check /var/log/messages or equivalent on your distro to see if there's
anything else in there, also dmesg output. One possibility is that
one drive is set to a different region to the other, with some drives
libdvd can ignore it but other drives have firmware that enforces it.
Can you copy the video files off and play them from there, and have
you tried mplayer too? Possibly try a different region DVD,
e.g. region 1, which is most likely to be the default for a
non-localised DVD drive.

Yup - lots of I/O errors, and copying the files failed (didn't see any
errors first time around! must have been something stupid).

Thanks Ian.
