VLC DVD playback

Hi, I am trying to play a DVD from within file structure. Everything works just fine in VLC under win7(64bit) my system is ArchLinux(32bit) whenever I try to read the dvd it gives me tons of errors (below). I have libdvd* installed all. I used to do this all the time, I can't figure out why doesn't it work now. thanks for your answers

I think the problem is here
[0x8bcf5b0] main access error: no access module matched "dvd"
because xine gives me similar error
The dvd structure is ok, there's no problem with that. I've checked that

Dvd playback is slow

i have noticed that dvd playback is slow . i use vlc and kaffeine.if the dvd files are on hdd the playback is again slow.i have nvidia 630m optimus

Hi
If this delay appears only playing the movies and audio using the CD/DVD drive then you should check this short workaround:
1) Access the device manager
2) Expand the IDE ATA/ATAPI option
3) go to Primary IDE channel -> Properties -> Advanced settings
4) here you should check if DMA if available was chosen
If its not set to DMA if available then remove the Primary IDE channel from the device list and reboot the notebook.
After the notebook has booted again, check the single point again and check if DMA if available appears again

No Sound During DVD Playback

I have a new HP elitebook 8460p and there is no sound during DVD playback. Is there a setting I may be able to change? Here is a list of things I've tried and pertinent information:
- Confirmed all system mute settings are off (e.g., not muted)
- Confirmed DVD works on other devices
- DVD will not play sound in InterActual Player, Windows Media Player, or VLC Media Player
- Picture is fine...just no audio
- Running XP
- All other system sounds work

Multi region DVD playback

I have a 27" iMac and it's set to Region 2 for it's DVD playback. I used to have a cheap DVD player that could play any DVD region, but that went the way of the dodo sometime early last year. Now I have a stack of Region 1 DVDs that I want to rip to my hard disk, but any application I try (even VLC and Handbrake) refuse to play or rip the disk. It either crashes or appears to have frozen before spitting the disk back out at me.
I was going to buy a cheap USB DVD drive in the hopes that it would play the DVDs, but I'm not sure if the region lock is part of the OS (therefore making the USB drive worthless) or part of the firmware on the internal drive (making the USB drive plausible).
Does anybody have a solution? Free if possible.
Thanks

I'm in the same boat, but a bit worse off. I'm a Canadian, with a Canadian-purchased late-2008 Aluminum MacBook. BEST laptop I've ever owned. Except for the Matshita DVD drive, which has now used up its 5 allowed region swaps. I made sure the last one was to Region 2 (Canada/USA). But since I've been living in a Region 4 region now for years, my MacBook can't play any media coded for this region. There is also no firmware flash available for this drive (MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-868).
There is no logical or commercial reason for region coding. It is particularly onerous for those of us with portable Macs who travel / live internationally....

Yet another DVD Playback thread...

Gone through every other thread related to DVD playback issues when you do a forum search for "dvd playback". If I try to play a DVD, the disc spins for quite a while while (S)MPlayer just sits there and eventually crashes. Tried this with multiple DVDs, updated all my software...here's the log. It doesn't play in xine or VLC either.

Sort of looks like hardware issues to me. Do you know that the drive works (i.e. tested in another OS, or it used to work and just stopped?)
Did you try just mplayer dvd:// ? That's quite a long options list you've got there.
What kind of drive is it?

Annoying video/DVD playback problems on new Mac mini (2010)

I have a Mac mini at home right now, latest edition (2010).
I am very surprised to find that DVD playback exhibits signs of stutters here and there. Not huge stutters, but I can constantly see small "skips" and what seems like frame drops here and there. Playing back the same DVD on a $120 Blu-ray-player shows no sign of this behaviour.
I have tried this on two different TV sets (one 720p and one 1080p), and the mini is not able to play back a DVD without these stutters/skips. Two different blu-ray players play the disc just fine (I have been using Ghost Dog to test - check chapter to and the scenes containing panning, it's easier to notice that way).
It seems ordinary video files playback (files from HD, 720p, mkv) exhibit some of the same behaviour, though this seems more dependent on which app is used for playback. Quicktime seems worse (noticeable stutters/skips), VLC 1.1 a bit better (though both DVD playback and file playback show signs of stutter), while XBMC is the best of the three, with very little frame drop (if that is in fact what it is).
Any idea what's going on here? Why will such a expensive machine with HDMI output not play back video properly, while a cheap Blu-ray-player does it just fine?
Are there any known issues?
(sorry for posting this in the wrong from earlier!)

I have not used the dvd player app in my 2010 mini, but I've certainly played every media type under the sun since receiving it.
It plays them all without dropping frames, stuttering, pausing, etc.
Are you using dvd player with dvd disc images, video ts folders, or actual DVD discs in the drive?
If you're playing a disc image or video ts folder, are you accessing them over wireless networking? If so, try them on the internal drive, or over a wired network connection.
Try turning off the option is in energy saver that allows drive sleep (system sleep can stay where it is, just turn off *hard drive* sleep).
For best performance, make sure you aren't running other apps besides the media player app that you're using at the time.
Make sure you don't have software or utilities running background tasks (such as disk warrior, drive genius or tech tool pro).
If you have external devices connected (including printer and/or scanner), try the system without them connected. Does the video playback improve without them connected? If it does, then try reconnecting them one by one to figure out which one of them is related to the problem.

Satellite L300: Where to get free software available for HD-DVD playback

I have a toshiba Satelitte L300 and an xbox 360 hd-dvd drive.
Can i get the Toshiba hd dvd player software without having to pay as i originally have the normal dvd play software?
If not does anyone know if there is any freeware software available for hd-dvd playback
Thanks

Hi neill64,
Im a little bit confused about your posting. I dont understand why your Xbox 360 has something to do with your notebook.
For watching HD DVDs you need a drive that can read this kind of disk. Furthermore as Mike30 wrote HD DVD player is preinstalled on all notebooks with such a drive. Alternative you can use VLC media player for watching DVDs. I also use this player!

Lackluster DVD Playback

I used to have a G3 iMac and the DVD playback was great, crystal clear. Now I have a 17 inch iMac G5 and the placyback is just plain nasty. The playback is never fullscreen, even when widescreen DVD is in. The playback is very grainy, with all sorts of DVDs. i have tried new movies old movies music everything. There is always a 2-3 inch black border on all sides of the video. Why is the playback so horrible?- It is seriously awful.

Try one of the free DVD players from versiontracker to try and isolate the problem (VLC or MPlayer).
My 10" Rev A iMAc G5 is great

New computer tip : Getting healthy discounts on DVD playback and authoring software

Lots of times when a user purchases a new computer, the manufacturer includes OEM software to supplement the hardware that was purchased. OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. They can choose what features to include with your computer while disabling others. For most users, the included feature set is going to be enough to get the new owners feet wet about how their DVD Burner works, but what if you need more features then what is given? A great example is when I purchased a Compaq a long time ago. It had a feature limited version of NERO loaded on the machine. After registering the software, which I thought was required to use it, I was sent an email to buy the full version of the software for a discount. I was very skeptical. Then when I clicked the link in the email to see what the discount was , it was Nero Ultimate for $19.99! This was an upgrade version , however. but the discount was tempting! I bought it, downloaded and installed it, and within an hour I had 85 percent more features on my computer then what was included when I used the factory default software. So before you write off promotional emails as spam , listen to what they have to say. You can always opt out if you dont like it.

DVD playback issue with Windows Media Player

Hi,
This isn't an Encore specific question, rather, a DVD playback one. Has anyone had issue playing their replicated DVDs in Windows Media Player? I truly believe it's the media player, not the DVD. When we put a DVD in the drive and try to open it in WMP, it jumps right to a video, or jumps directly to the last place we were in a video.... it's not defaulting to the main menu.
Has anyone experienced this? Is it a programming glitch on my DVD? I feel like it's a WMP issue, as it's only happening on certain computers.
thanks.

WMP has never been a good player for DVD's. At some point in the past, much of that functionality was disabled my MS, in hopes to reduce piracy. For some versions, no burned DVD would even play, though replicated/pressed DVD's were supposed to play fine.
I use CyberLink's PowerDVD and it is fine, even with my burned DVD's. The free MediaPlayer Classic HC plays my discs well too, with full menuing.
Good luck,
Hunt

DVD Playback problem with H/w accel on Ti4200

Hello folks,
I have a problem with DVD playback using WinDVD Platinum on my MSI 128Mb GF4 Ti4200 (MS-8700). When I play a DVD with hardware acceleration enabled I get a sort of ghosting or delayed flash photography effect similar to that which gives headlights trails. This doesn't occur with the Detonator 40.72 drivers
or MSI 41.07 drivers but occurs with
the NVidia 41.09s, 43.00s and now 43.45 drivers under WinXP SP1. The problem only occurs with hardware acceleration enabled and has happened with both DX8.1 and 9.0. I didn't have this problem with the 41.09s under Win2k SP3.
Does anyone else have this problem or know of a solution.
Thanks,
Morpheus
System Specs:
Athlon XP 2000+
512MB DDR Ram
Asus A7V333-R
Soundblaster Audigy Player
Realtek 8139 based NIC
Win XP SP1
DirectX 9.0

Sound is fine its just the picture that has the problem but I have narrowed it down further by downloading WinDVD Tweaker. If I disable DxVA but leave hardware decode and colour selected the problem isn't present. Therefore I suspect something has corrupted my DxVA drivers however as I originally had 8.1 installed and then installed 9.0 in an attempt to fix this I don't think a reinstall of DX will solve the problem.
Any ideas.
Cheers,
Morpheus

DVD playback: screen goes black in full-screen mode

Hi. Having problems with DVD playback on 1 Ghz Powerbook G4 12 ". When trying to view in full-screen (or even sometimes in maximum) mode, screen simply goes black. Sound still works, but no visuals. As soon as I revert back to Normal size, visuals play fine.
Any ideas ? This is a problem which has developed rather than being with the machine since I bought it. Just for the record, I have 1.25 GB RAM installed and am running 10.4.5.

DVD playback blurry with Kaffeine/Xine

Hi guys,
I wanted to watch my first DVD under Linux yesterday and I noticed that the image quality is really, really bad compared to watching the same DVD under Windows with PowerDVD.
DVD playback in Kaffeine with Xine engine is really blurry. Does anybody know what the reason could be? There's a lot of options for xine engine parameters in Kaffeine, but I don't have a clue about them. Any tipps appreciated.
I've also tried kmplayer, but the image there has small black horizontal lines in it, which looks really weird. I thinks that's called interlaced, right? I'm a total video noob. ^^
TIA,
Blackhole

DVD Playback Error Problems.

Hi,
When I put in a DVD a initialation error pops up saying Player requires a newer version of DVD Playback frame work
[-70103]. How do I fix this? Thanks.

I would suggest running a system software update.
Keep in mind that it is recommended to back up your important files and data before doing so.
The option to do so should be in your Apple menu.
