I'm hoping someone can help me out here.
I recently moved a firewire card and DVD drive that had been in my FreeBSD
box to another computer. I replaced it with an IDE DVD drive. The
probelm is that now I can't get mplayer or vlc to play any DVDs that had
previously worked with the firewire drive.
I have, of course, made sure that /dev/dvd is a symbolic link to /dev/acd0
instead of /dev/cd0 (as it used to be). The only difference that I can
think of is that FreeBSD sees the firewire drive as a scsi drive and sees
the ide drive as an ide drive. Is DVD playback just not supported on IDE
drives on FreeBSD -CURRENT?
