When I run Xine in a terminal I get this: xine open dvd://VIDEO_TS.VOB, start pos = 0 input_dvd: seek VIDEO_TS.VOB to block 0x240: 0x120000 select audio channel : 0 ac3_reset input_dvd: read error: Input/output error demux_mpeg_block: checking if we can branch to dvd://VTS_01_0.VOB input_dvd: is_branch_possible to dvd://VTS_01_0.VOB ? video stream end audio stream end xine_notify_stream_finished Which means I'm still stumped! It doesn't even try to access the DVD drive (i.e. no flashy lights or disc-spinning).Perhaps I need to install another driver? :( Ricardo -- Love Ricardo, "Surely this monstrous hybrid comes not from a mother's womb but from an Ephialtes, an Incubus, or some other horrendous demon, as though spawned in a putrid and venemous fungus, son of Fauns and Nymphs, more Devil than man." -Athanasius Kircher, Mundus Subtarraneus, Amsterdam, 1665, pp.279-280 http://www.rscampos.net Get your @hellokitty.com FREE e-mail account at http://www.sanriotown.com Sanrio Town - Your Ultimate Community to meet Sanrio character & friends.
