hello, i try to make DVD ( xine, mplayer, or whatever else) works on pismo (powerbook) system, but the video playback is _really_ slow. i'm running debian sid on a 2.4.19-pre2 kernel. ppl from xine project said me my DVD drive is to slow to read DVD :
# hdparm /dev/dvd /dev/dvd: HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT failed: Invalid argument I/O support = 0 (default 16-bit) unmaskirq = 1 (on) using_dma = 1 (on) keepsettings = 0 (off) HDIO_GET_NOWERR failed: Invalid argument readonly = 1 (on) readahead = 4 (on) HDIO_GETGEO failed: Invalid argument busstate = 1 (on) after i tried different setting using hdparm, i get : # hdparm -t /dev/dvd /dev/dvd: Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 18.92 seconds = 3.38 MB/sec .. which is not enough to play DVD as xine project member said me. btw, i could read DVD using apple player on MacOS, that's why i can't understand why i can't make it working on linux. any ideas ? thanks all -- Matthieu Foillard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> TAKTILE, 52 rue de Ponthieu - 75008 PARIS TEL 01 42 56 88 76 -- ICQ : 112622896 GSM 06 86 57 41 70
