In FreeBSD it shows up as the CD-ROM device. For ATAPI devices (what you probably have) this will be /dev/acdNc, where N is the device number (usually 0). For SCSI devices it is /dev/cdNc (IIRC). I don't know if the DVD support in VLC works though. I never managed to get it working (although that was a few months ago). I usually use Ogle, Xine or Mplayer. Ogle is the easiest to set up, but doesn't offer any sort of inverse telecine. Mplayer has a baffling interface (try mplayer -dvd or mplayer -dvd N, where N is a number from 0 to ~3, -dvdnav doesn't work because you can't actually navigate from what I can tell). Xine has always been crashy for me, but works great for some people. You have to click on the d4d or dvd button in Xine's interface. -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
