I buildt a myth box for a friend, Dvd worked fine.. i did install libdvdcss. Well a couple weeks later, it doesnt work?? not for ripping.. and not for watching dvd's with xine. so here is what i have done with my limited knowlege of linux..
i first went to a commad prompt, and ran:
Code:
mplayer dvd:// /dvd

it said...
Quote:
cannot open device with Libdvdcss.
cannot open /dev/dvd for reading.

btw i did try with a couple of different dvd's
i then ran:

Code:
mount /dev/dvd

it said:

No medium found


I am able to mount any normal cd in the DVD drive.. I relize maybe its a bad DVD drive, any ideas of more troubleshooting techniques??
