Post subject:  DVD / VCDs won't play

Hi, I recently installed r4 with no troubles. post install, I can't seem to get dvds or vcds to play. I only have a dvd-rom in the computer, and I've even tried installing and using ogle as the player. When looking in the dvd settings I realized that the vcd settings were using /mnt/cdrom as the device and the dvd settings were using /mnt/dvd. Shouldn't they be the same because I only have a single drive??? I know the drive is recognized by myth because I can play Mpeg-4 and music cds without troubles. All that happens when I select play dvd or vcd is it will quickly (very quickly) flashs as though it is going to play, then quits back to the dvd menu...any suggestions?

Thanks,
Justin

The dvd-rom drive is symlinked to the cd-rom drive. KnoppMyth will not play encrypted DVDs. Try a different VCD, does it work? I've seen MPlayer have issue w/ some VCDs and not others.

I figured it out....for whatever reason the settings were looking for /mnt/dvd and /mnt/cdrom instead of /dev...Once I changed that it worked like a charm. Thanks for the quick reply. Keep up the good work!

Thanks again,
Justin
