As far as I can tell, if the dvd is encrypted your chances of playing it under FreeBSD are pretty low. I've found the only way to play a DVD is to rip it and decrypt it on disk, then point xine at the unencrypted file. Unfortunatly it won't try to use the IFO, so playing anything subtitled can be painful (especially if the subtitles are stored across multiple subtitle tracks, as they are on many DVDs). Also, if his DVD was region locked, he wouldn't even be able to read the file, much less get a couple of frame fragments out before dying. > > Xine skips a lot of frames though but it's not due a slow CPU, it only > > eats up 50%-60%.

If you have the 1/2 framerate problem (and not just lots of dropped frames) then that can workaround it. BTW this problem went away when I upgraded my soundcard to an EMU10k1. The dead giveaway is if the sound is only playing at 1/2 speed. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
