Well, you CAN go to a terminal and (as root) use the hdparm command to
reset the DMA but, of course, you will miss a portion of the film during
this step.

BTW, if you stop the DVD - at least pause the film - then the hdparm
setting for DMA is lost and you will have to use the hdparm command to
reset it. Such are the wonders of sus in this year of our lord 2005. AND
devious plans are also now afoot to replace KDE with some gnome droppings.

Cheers.
