I could not compile regionset out of the box. I had to change line 37 in
dvd_udf.c to FreeBSD instead of OpenBSD.
zap...
#if defined(__FreeBSD__)
zap...
The bad thing: regionset is not working; I get following output:
kingkong# ./regionset
ERROR: Could not open disc "(null)"!
Please place a DVD in the dvd drive.
Usage regionset /dev/dvd
or:
kingkong# ./regionset /dev/dvd
ERROR: Could not open disc "/dev/dvd"!
Please place a DVD in the dvd drive.
Usage regionset /dev/dvd
The link /dev/dvd is set to /dev/cd0 and I put a DVD into the Drive. I
tried it as mounted and also as unmounted.
Any ideas?
