I master and burn DVDs from my analogue camcorder. I normally test the end product in xine, skipping through chapter marks and saving an image to use as a case label. A couple of weeks ago xine stopped being able to read them. I've tried mplayer, totem and vlc, all of which worked in the past. None of them read them any more. The disks aren't faulty - they play on stand-alone players, and I've tested on more than one. I have *xine* and libdvdcss from livna - although I can't see why I would actually need libdvdcss to read unencrypted disks. I've yummed livna for updates, just in case, without getting any return. Has anyone any idea what might be causing this? I suspect some dependency breakage, because these disks played under Mandriva up to last night, when I did an update. Now they don't. I shall ask on the Mandriva list also, but it looks to me as though this is a deeper problem that affects both, and probably all, distros. Anne
