I've finally figured out how to get these progs to actually play dvd on my machine but the video part of the dvd playback is excruciatingly slow. I had the same dvd player in a much slower machine under suse7.2 and things were fine but on suse8.1 it's unwatchable. xine refuses to see my dvd if it is set as /dev/hdb, but will play it Sloooooowly if I use /dev sr0. Unfortunately this does not allow me to turn DMA on for the dvd player. Actually for some reason none of my drives are allowed to set dma on any more, even though they were set up that way right after I installed 8.1 I know I've covered a bit of ground, but I'm hoping that something here will ring a bell for someone. Thanks for your help dh
