[xine-user] dvd skips

[silent s. <sil...@ho...>]

For the last few days i've been trying to watch the first two seasons of The 
Awful Truth that my neighbor has borrowed me.  I've tryed to play them on my 
windows box and my freebsd box.  I've had no success at all on the windows 
box... always get an error code of 1 no matter what application i use.  I 
have tryed many applications on the freebsd box as well and xine is the only 
one that comes close to success.  It will play the dvd but it will play it 
frame by frame skipping many frames in between, the audio stays in sync, 
skipping with the video this way.  I tryed increasing the shared memory 
kern.ipc.shmmax and shmall values and that helped some but it still does the 
same thing to a lesser extent.  I'm wondering if this has something to do 
with dvd encryption as i don't know much about it.  Somewhere i read that 
all comercial dvds in north america are encrypted but i do not know for 
sure.  It seems strange that all the seemingly straight forward windows 
applications that i have tryed to play the dvd with have failed so i doubt 
it is just a lack of configeration on my part.  If anyone has any ideas on 
how i can fix this problem or if the problem is just caused by dvd 
encryption please point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Ryan
