Hi;
I'm in America "land of the free" so naturally the DVDs I own are encrypted :).
I have been able to watch some encrypted DVDs in my collection, but not others. The encryption process will stall and xine will lock.
I have been working with someone on the xine list. He seems to think the problem might have something do with my dvdrom being scsi or using scsi emulation.
I have Knoppix 3.2 4/05/03 installed to my hard drive.
I have a Samsung DVD-ROM SD 616
dmesg reports it as:
------------
hdc: SAMSUNG DVD-ROM SD-616Q, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
-----------
Knoppix set up my system so that
/dev/dvd is a link to /dev/cdrom
/dev/cdrom is a link to sr0
however I got dma working for the drive by seeting dma on /dev/hdc
Do I have a scsi dvdrom or merely scsi emulation?
Will running Knoppix from the cdrom, using a special cheat code, and then installing to the hard drive again install Knoppix in a different way that will make xine decrypt better?
If I can DVDs working on my knoppix box I can be completey independant of windows.
I would love to write back to this forum celebrating the erasuse of my win 98 partition on my old box.
Thanks
Steve
