X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2003 15:18:19 -0000 I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I recently moved a firewire card and DVD drive that had been in my FreeBSD box to another computer. I replaced it with an IDE DVD drive. The probelm is that now I can't get mplayer or vlc to play any DVDs that had previously worked with the firewire drive. I have, of course, made sure that /dev/dvd is a symbolic link to /dev/acd0 instead of /dev/cd0 (as it used to be). The only difference that I can think of is that FreeBSD sees the firewire drive as a scsi drive and sees the ide drive as an ide drive. Is DVD playback just not supported on IDE drives on FreeBSD -CURRENT? Adam
