DVD player AND CD Burner - SVCD Videos not accessible in Suse 8.2
by Axel Hein » Wed, 10 Dec 2003 19:03:54 GMT
I am using Suse 8.2 with Xine or kmplayer and watching movies on DVD
works fine without problems. But i cannot watch movies on SVCD. When
starting Xine or kmplayer to start the SVCD movie, Xine just hangs and
kmplayer does not do anything.
I heard that there might be such problems with Suse 8.2 when there are a
DVD player AND a CD burner installed in the PC - as it is the case in my
PC.
In another PC where there is just one DVD player installed, SVCD movies
can be watched without problems with Suse 8.2 and Xine ...
I have not found a solution yet. Does anyone have an idea ???
Regards
Axel

Hm. What are the error messages you get when you open an xterm or
konsole and do "mplayer -vcd 2 /dev/cdrom" , replacing /dev/cdrom with
the device name of whatever drive you've put the SVCD in? (NOTE: the
syntax changed in mplayer 1.0, you'd do "mplayer vcd://2/dev/cdrom"
there.) Is this just with SVCDs, or do regular VCDs exhibit the same
problems?
There shouldn't be any problems with having a DVD-R* and a CD-RW in one
machine. I have a CD-RW and a DVD+RW on my machine, and I can play VCDs
from either drive without a problem. Both drives are using ide-scsi
emulation, of course.

Thanks for the hint. "mplayer -vcd 2 /dev/cdrom" works fine, but still
Xine cannot play the SVCD. On the other hand, on another PC - with just
a DVD player and no CD burner, with the same installation of SUSE 8.2 -
kmplayer and Xine are able to play the SVCD videos.
I did not try VCD, since i don't have any.

1.Suse 8.2 Won't Recognize CD Burner
I did a fresh install of Suse 8.2. Today I went to burn a CD using k3b, but
it shows no devices. In YAST2, my burner is shown correctly at
/dev/cdrecorder, mount point /media/cdrecorder, and the link is /dev/sr0.
I have read other posts saying that I need to go into lilo.conf, and add a
line to change it to SCSI, etc.
Do I really need to do this? Isn't ths installer smart enough to set it up
correctly in the first place?

I've not seen the bad 0 block error on CD-R disks. The ones that I have
all say 1x to ??x. I have not seen a CD-R that does not say 1x to.....
but there may exist CD-R's that have a minimum speed of 4x. I have not
seen any. My guess is that this is an issue only with the so called "high
speed" CD-RW disks, of any speed, that has a stated "minimum speed" of 4x or
higher.
