playing dvd movies from console

playing dvd movies from console

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hi gang.  Just as the subject says.  I've read the HOWTO on playing DVD
movies but it says you have to run x.  I know if there is way to play
DVD movies from the console I would not get the vido, but all I would
care about is the sound really?  Can this be done?

-- 
If you are good, you will be assigned all the work.  If you are real
good, you will get out of it.

I know this can be done, but as to how to set it up, I'm not sure, a
friend set mine up so not really sure how to do it.

Re: playing dvd movies from console

[Johan Bergström]

I set it up for Deedra, and you can use mplayer, see http://mplayerhq.hu
(The website is pretty graphical, and I dont think there are any text
based alternatives to it.) You need to compile and build it yourself,
which is not trivial, you need some knowledge of at least how to install
libraries, and programs using configure and make scripts. If you get
everything working, just use the null video output, and you can get a
sound-only version in the console.

If you need help with installing, reply to me privatly and we wont flood
the list, or if there is interest for it on the list, I can ofcourse write
down a little installation guide how to install everything needed.

Hi Johan,

	I, for one, would be interested in a step-by-step tutorial on how to set up DVD playback from the console. If others here are interested, perhaps they can voice their interest and you could post it to the list, otherwise off-list.

	Thanks,

Ditto for me. Please share any instructions with the list; I am
