I try to configure the dvd on my ibook2 600. I found a doc :
http://dvd.sourceforge.net/xine-howto/en_GB/html/howto-9.html
but I don't know how to actvite raw device in the kernel 2.4.20 ...
I haven't seen it ?
To create the raw devices, just tye as root
MAKEDEV raw
Does anyone use it ?
Any advice for improving the dvd reading ?
I use vlc with which I have the better result.
Even using the raw devices, xine still isn't good
enough. Ogle is OK, recompiling the debian package
with gcc-3.2 improves it a bit, but I still get
some lost frames.
I haven't tried vlc. I didn't succeed compiling
mplayer, "missing codec error" when I try to read
the DVD. Is vlc better than ogle ?
BTW, has anyone a clue why DVD playback is fine
under MacOS ? Is there some kind of hardware mpeg
decoder in the ati chip which isn't supported
under GNU/Linux, or did they just do a great
optimisation job ?
