Can you read a dvd "normally" with xine without a lot of frame being dropped?
With # /sbin/hdparm /dev/dvd /dev/dvd: IO_support = 1 (32-bit) unmaskirq = 1 (on) using_dma = 1 (on) keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 256 (on) HDIO_GETGEO failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device # I can record and play video DVDs with no (apparent) problem. However, in the command line, with xine, I keep getting 'bad_frame'. Paul
