DVD playing!

[pbharris]

So ya like watching DVDs on you linux box! but the performance sucks!!

well - for using SCSI emulation on that DVD drive has yielded 10x improvements. now 'scuse me while I watch Star Wars - Attack of the Clones.

hdparm -d 1 -X34 -k 1 /dev/hdc

worked for me not even scsi emulation fixed the problems i was having.

Star Wars-Send in the Clowns ??? It was ok but much much better on the big screen ya cheapo :P

Running KXine in MDK9 - works like a fucking charm !

I have a 4x DVD player and they play perfectly in Slackware as well!

Yeah, I have noticed that after I setup SCSI emulation across all removeable media, the system is a bit snappier and more responsive.

Thanks for the tip.

Although, why arent you watching the new LOTR dvd set? Theres like 4 more hours of behind the scenes. I watched most of the first disc. Still have the second one to go

sarah31: all i can get is -X33 on on dvd drive, DMA is enable w/o problems though. but this did not help near as much as SCSI emulation. And i did see it on the big screen!! the one movie i did not see on the big screen was Matrix... what a fool was I.


schotty: Lord of the Rings? never saw it... is it any good?

I never saw the Matrix on the big screen. I'm dumb...

Yes. They earned over $100 now from me. I went 4 times to see it in the theatre ($7.50 x3 + $3)

The DVD they released ($20)

The Collectors Edition DVD ($25)

The Collector's Set DVD Box ($60)

So yes, it is. Which reminds me -- I finally saw Star Wars Ep2. Am I the only one who thought it was seriously lacking, or is it now that I have been watching epic/classic movies up the wazoo, that I have become spoilt? (LOTR, Clash of the Titans, Conan, Heat, Ghost in the Shell ...)

WTF???

The collectors box is 100$ alone here in DK..

Oh and yes, saw it twice at the movies, brought the SE version on DVD... And yes IT'S SO WORTH IT... I LOVE THAT MOVIE..
