bit of Serbian language to read it.
Actually probably you could follow article even if you do
not speak Serbian as the language is generic and there
are only three important steps you need to do.
Step 1 Editing your /boot/loader.conf file with
atapicam_load="YES"
hw.ata.ata_dma="1"
hw.ata.atapi_dma="1"
since FreeBSD is using atapicam device to write DVD
Step 2 Edit your /etc/devfs.conf with various permission.
Most of those are needed for a work station anyway
perm /dev/acd0 0666
perm /dev/cd0 0666
# Commonly used by many ports
link cd0 cdrom
link cd0 dvd
link cd0 rdvd
link acd0 cdrom
link acd0 dvd
link acd0 rdvd
# Misc other devices
perm cdrom 0666
perm dvd 0666
perm rdvd 0666
perm xpt0 0666
perm pass0 0666
Step 3 Edit your /etc/fstab file if you want to use K3b
as a normal user since the disk has to be mounted on the
mount point which belong to you
[pedja@ /usr/home/Pedja]$ more /etc/fstab
#These are my options
/dev/cd0 /usr/home/Pedja/mnt/cdrom cd9660 rw,
noauto 0 0 /dev/acd0
/usr/home/Pedja/mnt/cdrom cd9660 rw, noauto 0
0
You do not need HAL for things to work but is not going
to heart.
Also read
make showinfo /usr/ports/sysutils/k3b
Best,

Thanks for posting this Predrag.
I have had unsolvable (so far) problems with playing both
dvd movies and cd audio. MPlayer will play VOBs but no
menus, no navigation which can make watching pretty much
impossible sometimes.
I had actually given up on trying to get these two features
to work and have installed a new linux (to me), Kubuntu. On
this platform, there are no problems with DVD movies, audio
cd, streamed audio, even flash. I can watch youtube too.
This has not been the case on FreeBSD. I have tried
installing FreeBSD 6.2 via three different versions,
FreeBSD, DesktopBSD and PCBSD, and asked questions on their
mailing lists.
My Dear Friend,
You will have to wait for a very long time then since all of the above
except Flash (which Adobe does release for Linux but not for FreeBSD)
works flawlessly on FreeBSD including watching YouTube (just use
youtube-dl to snap the video and play with VLC). There are even
alternative solutions for the Flash unless you want to play video games
full of Flash!
The only reason they didn't work for you is that you didn't know how to
set up those features.
Never the less if you fell more comfortably with Kubuntu stick with it.
FreeBSD is not platform for everything and everyone.
Personally, I find myself using more and more OpenBSD. So you have to
use OS you are comfortable with and has a features you most desire (in
my case enhanced security).
Best,
Predrag
But I do like many things about BSD and would like to be
able to move to it completely when I can have these
features working correctly, so I will try your suggestions
above and see what happens.
neal.
