Hi 

I have a Pioneer slot type 105 drive modified to region free.  I 
cant play encrypted movies on either xine complete or vlc 2.70, 
and a post 2.71 snapshot..  I have not yet gone to 2.72 as the 
rpms are glib2.2.  I have a review which says there are probs 
with this drive.

i mount the dvd under /mnt/dvd, although have also set up the 
symlink

        vlc dvd:.nnt/dvd    

input error: unknown file type for `/mnt/dvd'

       vlc dvd:/mnt/dvd/VIDEO_TS/VTS _04_0.VOB    

intf: interface initialized
vout: video display initialized (720x576, 15/16 bpp)
input: opening dvd:/mnt/dvd/VIDEO_TS/VTS_04_0.VOB
css error: ioctl_ReadCopyright failed, make sure DVD ioctls were 
compiled in
css error: could not get copyright bit

         [root at localhost mark]# vlc /mnt/dvd/VIDEO_TS/VTS_04_0.VOB

VideoLAN Client - version 0.2.70 Urumov - (C)1996-2001 VideoLAN

intf: interface initialized
vout: video display initialized (720x576, 15/16 bpp)
input: opening /mnt/dvd/VIDEO_TS/VTS_04_0.VOB
Read failed (Operation not permitted)


All commands run as root.  Has anyone had any joy with as pioneer 
105 dvd rom or have i bought the wrong drive

Regards

Mark
