Now I am able to play the files on SuSE 9.1 Pro using 5B5B5B5B5B> Mplayer.
I had to scp the files from a windows machine to my SuSE and changed the file permissions to -rwxr-xr-x. And then I am able to play the files with Mplayer.
It would be interesting to note exactly why this has been done.
The file was a read only. When I opened it on a windows machine and tried to change the read only attribute, it didn't allow me to do it. So I just scp'd it to my linux machine and in the scp window itself I changed the permissions on the linux machine to -rwxr-xr-x came to my linux machine and then played it with Mplayer and then it played fine.
You also said before:
I say file * on the command line and it gives this: avseq01.dat: ERROR: cannot read `avseq01.dat' (Input/output error)
I'd think there was some kind of read error on that file. When you managed to copy it, the error was cleared, and it played. What does "file *" say now?
Now it says this AVSEQ01.DAT: RIFF (little-endian) data, wrapped MPEG-1 (CDXA) AVSEQ02.DAT: RIFF (little-endian) data, wrapped MPEG-1 (CDXA) AVSEQ03.DAT: RIFF (little-endian) data, wrapped MPEG-1 (CDXA) Any idea what's happening? Sometime back also I had a similar problem and I had to resort to scp'ing the files to the linux machine. Last time what happened was that the windows files were hidden and linux wouldn't list those hidden files when I change to the directory /media/cdrom/<file directory> and say ls or ls -a. So I had to put the cd in the windows machine change the attributes so that the files are not hidden and then scp'd the files to my machine and then it worked.
