I chose /dev/racd0c as the default (raw, c > slice) but I can change that if there is enough desire. There really isn't such a thing as a raw device anymore, the r* devices in -stable are just there for compatability sake. Further, -current does not have r* devices at all, so I would suggest that you make /dev/acd0c the default. To add my $0.02, I'm 95% happy with ogle as a DVD player. I have three gripes, which I think have all been mentioned before. 1) It keeps you waiting while it unlocks all of the titles on the disk. Maybe just unlock the first few, then unlock the rest while the copyright or menu screens are on. Or just unlock each title as it's needed. 2) I get a lot of MPEG artifacts. I'm using a PIII/700MHz machine with plenty of RAM, XF4.1.0 with XVideo, and xine doesn't have this problem. It's not so severe as to make the viewing unpleasant, but it is annoying. Running 'top' shows that the CPU is 40% idle, so I'm not sure what's going on. There was a discussion a while back concerning xine and how it seemed that frame decompression was fine, but frame delivery was abnormally slow. I'd welcome more thoughts on this. 3) The ogle_gui doesn't work for me. It just sits and waits forever after displaying 'xsniff_mouse'. This could either be that I'm using KDE, not Gnome, and it's expecting some piece of infrastructure that I don't have, or that it spawned a thread that blocked in the kernel. I haven't looked to much into it. Other than that, I'm very impressed with ogle. Keep up the good work!
