Hey all,
I figured that I will post a fix that helped me with my IDE CD-RW/DVD
drive to watch DVD movies with Mplayer. First I assume you can burn
CD's and read them perfectly. You might be able to read DVD data, but
not watch the movies unless you surf for the .VOB file in the
directories. This allowed me to watch the movies once I started
gmplayer, but it sucked compared to Windows.
First I did not mount the dvd player, or the cdrom. Instead I found
that my cd-rw/dvd does get scsi emulated and can be found by:
# cdrecord --scanbus
You should see the CDRW drive listed in the output. If not then I
cannot be sure this will work for you.
Next I did a trial and error
# mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /dev/scd0
if this does not work then try /dev/scd1... 2... 3... etc.
It should start playing in Mplayer if it does just CTRL-C out of
Mplayer and you found the correct device. Now just make a soft link
for it in the dev directory.
#ln -s /dev/dvd /dev/scd0
Then I used gmplayer and clicked the dvd icon. It came up just like
mplayer said it would.
Good luck.
