Re: [xine-user] When trying to play a dvd I get "error reading NAV packet".

[Michiel T. <Mic...@bi...>]

Hi Clifford,

Have you ever succesfully played DVDs on the drive? Some drives need to
be locked (once-time-operation) to a region before they will properly
read DVDs. 

Windows DVD software often does this automatically, but in Linux you
have to do this yourself. Maybe this has changed, but I had to do it
about 1.5 years ago. I don't have any windows, so my drive hadn't been
set yet. (I now have region-free firmware for it, though).

Cheers,

Michiel
