[MPlayer-users] DVD Playback problems (lots of info provided...)

[Phil Dibowitz]

I am experiencing problems both with 0.90pre8 AND CVS getting DVD 
playback to work. With 0.90pre8 I was able to get things MOSTLY working. 
I'm pretty sure atleast some of my problem is my soundcard (via 626) so 
I tried (with ALSA9 installed) -ao oss -ao sdl -ao alsa9. I always used 
-vo xv since I have a GeForce3 with the nVidia drivers installed. With
0.90pre8 oss and alsa9 gave very gittery playback (both vid and aud), 
while sdl couldn't open the sound device and if I used -nosound, there 
was only occasional jitter.

With CVS I'm having MORE problems. If I use -ao oss then Mplayer tells 
me it can't open the audio device. If I use -ao alsa9 then after 
choosing play I get a black screen and IT FREEZES and if I use -ao sdl 
it tells me it can't open the sound device. On both oss and sdl despite 
the no sound video is still somewhat jerky. Note that I have no problems 
with any other audio applications.

I tried all of this with various combinations of -ni -mc 0 and 
-forceidx. I also tried all of this with no -vo option.

All my information is below, as detailed in the bugreports.html 
documentation I've also included mplayer_alsa9.log, mplayer_oss.log, and 
mplayer_sdl.log which are the outputs of mplayer using the respective 
audio options. Latly config.h config.mak and libvo/config.mak are 
attached (they're text and it seemed this was OK from bugreport.html).

If I can provide any information or if you have
any ideas, please let me know. Thanks.
