I thought I would have a go at trying to get my PC to play DVDs this weekend so I done an apt-get install ogle-mmx ogle-gui then ran install-css.sh and linked /dev/dvd to /dev/hdc.
Try xine, mplayer as well =)
Really I don't link /dev/dvd to /dev/hdc to be honest. That is somewhat pointless where you can access /dev/dvd itself.
I am confused.... why is ogle unable to open /dev/dvd?
Most of all, I never mount dvd where I know mplayer, ogle etc will pick up the drive and play the film etc.
I don't know what kernel you are running to be honest. If you are running the latest and greatest 2.4 (using devfs) or 2.6 (using udev).
The answer to all of this problem is.. use a dvd player ;) (Just kiddin', just need more system information)
