[Jason Lixfeld]

Greetings, 

I'm getting some errors running mplayer/gmplayer.

Playing /dev/dvd
Reading disc structure, please wait...
libdvdread: Can't seek to block 256
libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO.
Can't open VMG info!

Running mplayer -dvd 1 [-cdrom-device [/dev/dvd | /dev/hdb]] gives me
exactly the same error.  /dev/dvd is symlinked to /dev/hdb

I've read the docs and mailing list and the only thing I have found is a
thread on the mailing list ([MPlayer-users] Re: "Can't open VMG info!"
error...) (Started 12/23/01) but that didn't help me any, unfortunatley.

I haven't done anything with libdvdread because as I understand it, it
is included with the mplayer source.

Here are the system specs:
