First off, I apologize if this is a question that has been addressed previously, the mailing list search engine is not letting me search the freebsd-questions archive. So I recently installed a (Toshiba) dvd player on my 4.4-Release box, and installed both ogle 0.8.2 and vlc 0.2.12. I borrowed a copy of Fight Club to watch as a test, and ran ogle. It proceeded to work on the css keys, getting through three and starting on the fourth when the system did a complete freeze, then proceeded to reboot itself. Hmm. So I try vlc, it seems to work fine. Until I get about halfway through the movie (scene 22, to be exact, 5312 seconds in), when the video promptly goes away. So I try skipping to later scenes on the dvd and, lo and behold, the system freezes and reboots itself. As I mentioned, I am running 4.4-release. I am running XFree86 4.1.0 (with the GATOS project drivers for my ATI XPert 2000, though the same problem occurred without them). Also, I should mention I have emailed the maintainers for both ogle and vlc, and one of them suggested that this might possibly be a problem with file size access in FreeBSD, or a hardware problem (though I have no easy way of testing the hardware hypothesis right now). So before I go trying to return the drive and such, has anyone else seen this kind of behavior? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. -Davis Please cc all responses to my email address, as I am not subscribed to this mailing list.
