O.K., what you wrote got me thinking, and I tried a few DVDs. It seems it's just one DVD that will shut down right after I start gmplayer, with or without the -vo switch. lsdvd produces this for that DVD: libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable. Disc Title: CD001 Title: 01, Length: 00:00:00 Chapters: 01, Cells: 01, Audio streams: 08, Subpictures: 32 Title: 02, Length: 00:00:08 Chapters: 01, Cells: 01, Audio streams: 03, Subpictures: 04 Title: 03, Length: 02:00:10 Chapters: 22, Cells: 23, Audio streams: 03, Subpictures: 04 Title: 04, Length: 00:02:17 Chapters: 01, Cells: 01, Audio streams: 01, Subpictures: 01 Title: 05, Length: 00:23:58 Chapters: 01, Cells: 01, Audio streams: 01, Subpictures: 01 Title: 06, Length: 00:10:08 Chapters: 01, Cells: 01, Audio streams: 01, Subpictures: 01 Title: 07, Length: 00:04:00 Chapters: 01, Cells: 01, Audio streams: 02, Subpictures: 02 Title: 08, Length: 00:03:57 Chapters: 01, Cells: 01, Audio streams: 02, Subpictures: 02 Title: 09, Length: 00:01:58 Chapters: 01, Cells: 01, Audio streams: 02, Subpictures: 02 Title: 10, Length: 00:02:09 Chapters: 01, Cells: 01, Audio streams: 02, Subpictures: 02 Longest track: 3 And so, gmplayer -vo xv dvd://3 will play the DVD just fine. So, it seemed to be a DVD related issue as other DVDs just play fine, with or without the -vo switch specified. When testing wiht Edd's advice of specifying the display and it worked, I must have mixed up DVDs and made a wrong deduction. At least, I learned more about the process. Thanks! BTW, ogle will not work with any DVD. I get this ...
