[MPlayer-users] dvd playback problem...

[gabor]

ok, forget about this... already solved...

the problem was that i got my dvd-rom, and immediately i updated the
firmware to a region-free one...

but you have to set up a region...
so i had to:
-flash back to the default firmware
-set up a region
-flash to region free firmware


so the normal usage is:
-buy a dvd drive
-set up a region
-flash it with a region free firmware

bye,
gabor
