RE: [xine-user] Xine on Apple IBook2/Yellow Dog Linux

[James Courtier-D. <Ja...@su...>]

If you wish to play a DVD from your HD, you need to copy all the files in
the /VIDEO_TS directory onto a directory on your hard disk. If you have an
encrypted DVD, you will have to use some special method to copy them. I
heard that there is a program called css-cat (use the -a option and copy as
root user.), but I have never used it.
Then start xine with
xine dvdnav:///PathToHardDiskDirectory

You will get the menus and everything else, just like on the DVD.

As for performance, playing from the HD is much quicker than a DVD drive.

Cheers
James
