Crash when viewing DVD on a PowerMac

[Peter R. Wood - Mailing Lists]

Description:
I am using an Apple PowerBook G3 "Firewire" with software decoder and a 
Toshiba DVD-ROM drive. I'm running Linux/PPC with kernel 2.4.2.

I have compiled the latest vlc from CVS source code. I run it like so:

$ vlc dvd:/dev/dvd

The video begins playing, fairly smoothly, but soon I see messages like: PES 
trashed - fifo full !

Soon I get a message that vlc has crashed (athough the video is still 
playing). Then a short time later, the video stops. There is also no sound at 
all...
