When I play a video DVD the modem quits doing whatever it's doing. Strange. I'm running 32bit FC7 on a system with a 64bit AMD 3200 and 2 gigs of memory. Both Xine and VLC exhibit the same behavior. I just tried gmplayer and it does the same thing, but the sound has static. That's weird, it never has before. Something else to fix. Sound on Xine or VLC is perfect. So, how could playing a DVD foul up the modem? Is there some type of streaming to the network that could grab the serial line or the ppp session?? Thanx!
