[MPlayer-users] libdvdread: Can't seek to block

[Zennon Poliboda]

I thought of it too. But at the end of my message, there were few 
additional points. Namely:


2. The same DVD plays OK in a standalone player

3. The same DVD plays OK in _the same_ drive in _the same_ pc when using 
a windowz player... :-(

4. Some other DVDs play more or less flawlessly using mplayer.


There might be something with the regions, because I suspect the DVD to 
be region 1, while the player _might_ be region 2 (I can't tell for sure 
because I uploaded a patched firmware into it).  However the point [3.] 
above... ?
