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?
