DVD-ROM Setup Problems

(1/2) > >>

LorKorub:
I followed the steps in the DVD-HOWTO that was included in Debian, but I am having some trouble.

First, it said that I needed to have a kernel with UFS and UDF support. It also says I needed MTRR (which is included.) So I compiled a new kernel (2.4.20)  and built in both UFS and UDF during Xconfig. When I do a modprobe on UDF, it can't locate it. UFS checks out, but UDF is not listed anywhere in lsmod.  

I tried editing /etc/fstab to switch the DVD drive's FS to auto, but when I try to mount a DVD it says 'No Medium Found."

Any suggestions?

mobrien_12:
What steps did you perform, exactly, when you compiled the kernel?

You will only use UDF if you have a DVD RW with packet mode writing.  My DVD drive works, and I do not have either UFS or UDF support at all.

I'm using 2.4.18, and I did not recompile it when I put the DVD drive in.

LorKorub:
I recompiled the kernel with all of the same stuff I had on 2.4.18, but just added UDF and UFS. I didn't add UDF read and write, just UDF read (the write was labeled Dangerous so I didn't install it.)

I had a problem installing the LiViD utilities as well.  It couldn't find Glib, even though I know that I have it installed. Maybe that is part of the problem?

What do you have in /etc/fstab for your DVD drive?  Maybe if I could get a look at that, it would help solve my problem.

choasforages:
err,what kind of dvd is it?
i thought that things like movies were raw info. and like had to be  read raw. like mplayer /dev/dvd would play a dvd/*only if the symlinks are in place though*/

pkd_lives:
I don't know if this helps but my DVD is called a CDROM, in fact if I try to mount /dev/dvd it tells me there is no such device. I had to change the ogle config to look for /dev/cdrom so I can play DVD (not properly but that may be a hardware prob., and mplayer doesn't yet play DVDs for me).
