[vdr] Re: DVD Playback

[christophackermann@t-online.de (Christoph Ackermann)]

Hello again,

i solved my problems with libdvdread-0.9.1 and libdvdcss-0.0.3; Thanks to Juergen Scherer! 
I can playback DVDs but not smoothly; the playback stops every one to five seconds for a short while. In my box there is a P233MMX an vdr uses about 70-90% of CPU time. Hdparm -E 2(-8) /dev/dvd does not affect this behaviour.
Does anybody have expierience with minimum configuration for DVD playback?

Thanks

 Christoph
