VlC-0.4.4 and VLS-0.3.3 problems report

[Liu, Haining]

Hi,

I've tried as you instructed, but still can't get it work. Most important of all, when i use VLC to play VOB file, I keep get "input error: read()failed (Input/output error)" message. What is the problem?

I installed most updated libdvdcss, make install as instructed, then I configure vlc-0.4.4.( I tried with 1)default; 2)turn on the "--enable-dvd" ), Then when I tried to use VLC directly read from my DVD drive, it failed, prompt "module error: requested access module 'dvd' unavailable\input error: no suitable access plug-in for 'dvd/:/mnt/cdrom at 1,1" ( I am pretty sure I have enabled my wrting rights to the drive). So I switched to File option, I tried to open Vob files directly. However, I can play open one of my 3 DVDs ( named "exclusive"). The other two don't work ( They are "The Thomas Crown affair" and "Toy story"). The errow message is "input error: read()failed (Input/output error)". Sometime VLC can show a picture window with several green blocks and then freeze. All these disks work well on my Win2K/Win98 boxes.

If you do this: 'dvd/:/mnt/cdrom at 1,1" then VLC expects a unmounted 
device rather then a mount point. This will just fail. You should do:
dvd:/dev/dvd or dvd:/dev/hdc (or on whatever device your DVD drive is 
located.)

If that works, then experiment with starting a chapter/title right away.

The error message is"Error: -1, Info: Unable to start program film (my name to the disk), Info: Error: Module mpegreader: ps2ts not present". Then I copied VoB files to the disk. Still I can only stream the "exclusive", I can't stream none of the other two. A lot of Error message such as "Time discontinuity in PS stream, Looping in Synch !!!!!...." and nothing will appear on clients.
