Re: [xine-user] Problem playing new bought DVD

[Felix R. <Felix.Rauscher@Physik.Uni-Muenchen.De>]

Hi,

this is something else then. Also I confused chaptewr ant title. Perhaps the 
DVD has a small error where PowerDVD jumps over and xine hangs. This could be 
a feature request, that xine or libdvdread ignores small errors in the DVD 
and continues reading.

Video DVDs contain a normal iso file system which can be found on any cdrom. 
Without googling, I don't know if there is a tool for checking 
iso-filesystems under linux (something like fsck.iso9660). Using this youy 
could verryfy if something is wrong with the dvd. 

You could also try:

 md5sum -c /dev/dvd

If it quits with a read error you know that the DVD is broken. If it returns a 
checksum, you know as much as before, as you don't know what the checksum 
should be.

Greetings

Felix
