I'm getting really modern thse days: I finally bought a DVD player. a friend lent me the Thomas Crown affaire (MGM, 1999?) and it played very well. So I rented Batman (Warner, 2008) and it's one problem after another I have libdvdcss installed, of course. None of the 2 videos are bootlegged, they're official commercial releases. There are a few scratches on the DVD. SMPlayer refuses to play it. I then found out that it was possible to play encrypted for time zones DVDs with this command: mplayer -sb 2500000 dvd:// and it does play. There are a couple of minutes of silence at the beginning, then it plays in Spanish. Of course, I could learn all of MPlayer's commands, but I'd prefer to use an interface. So, I added "-sb 2500000" in Preferences, Advanced, Options for MPlayer, Options in smplayer and everything seems OK till past TITLE_10: ----------------------------------- ID_DVD_TITLE_10_LENGTH=74.033 *** libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in /builddir/build/BUILD/libdvdread-4.1.3/src/ifo_read.c:1913 *** *** for pgci_ut->nr_of_lus < 100 *** ID_DVD_TITLE_11_LENGTH=0.400 ----------------------------------- Here's the output for: mplayer dvd:// without -sb 2500000 Audio: no sound Starting playback...

Try some of the lavdopts, e.g. -vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts lowres=1:fast:skiploopfilter=all. - Broken file - Try various combinations of -nobps -ni -forceidx -mc 0. - Slow media (NFS/SMB mounts, DVD, VCD etc) - Try -cache 8192. - Are you using -cache to play a non-interleaved AVI file? - Try -nocache.
