Xine VTS Error

[nomad]

Have a problem never seen before on any Linux install, Sabayon or others. So far every DVD successfully played with xine. Recently tried Shoot'em Up and once all the previews successfully played, there is a message about source not available, and so on...Then: 'error opening vtsN=3 domain=2.' Then xine just stop, not quit/exit, just stop. Ogle does the same thing, the previews for other movies will play with no problem, but I guess upon reaching the point where the main feature is next, Ogle just stop, not quit/exit, just stop, but with no messages at all. Did emerge the latest lib-xine, win32codecs and libdvdnav but no joy. Put in another movie and watched it with no problems. Tried Shoot'em Up again but still no good. My machine has a PX-800A and an HP Lightscribe. Both players does the same -- successfully play all the previews, then stop with that vtsN error message.

Anyone has same or similar problems?

Quite curious, that - can you verify that you can play the DVD in another Linux OS? I've seen similar errors to this, but it always was the result of an old or bad codec... see if it works under other Linux OSes.

My mistake...When I said other linux distros, I meant that I had never seen this problem before on my usage of other distros in the past. I could not verify if this DVD/movie will play on other distros or not as I have no other linux machines.

Not sure what else to check.

yeah, that's everything that should matter... if it works on windows, try it there, maybe use a decoder and re-burn the DVD when it's decrypted? (I'm thinking DVDshrink). How new/old is this disk?

Two days old, basically brand new. I am willing to guess that my XP box will play it just fine. I am just curious about the vts and domain error.

the latest releases have new encryption, not sure how this effects linux or not, but Mr.Woodcock and Saw 4 are all giving the DVD world a headache. When I put in Saw 4, mplayer popped up like normal, but wouldn't play it. I assume there will be an update to something coming along.

Awrighty...At least I don't feel so bad about this.

Another DVD -- 3:10 to Yuma -- that will not play. And neither will ogle. Although this time there is no error message with xine, only that the main viewing window is jerky and images are distorted with colored bars, as if I am viewing a corrupted jpg file. Put in 300 and that play just fine. Looks like the new DVD encryption is working and libdvdcss is not.

Does anyone have any update regarding this. I am getting this same error for movie Rendition. It plays flawless during previews then "BAM!" there goes the cool pop up. At first I thought it had to do with my permissions or the mounting.

so far, the industry's been impenetrable. But give it time, it will come.
