I can't confirm that. In my machine which is more than 7 years old now, I'm using (P)ATA / ATAPI stuff only (because it doesn't have any SATA inside), and it keeps working as intended. Still it may be possible that "modern" hardware doesn't play that good anymore. :-) If possible, just try a different DVD drive, as you've eleminated the reason "bad DVD" already. > I have a /etc/devfs.conf file with the following: > > # Commonly used by many ports > link acd0 cdrom > link acd0 dvd > > # Allow all users to access CD’s > perm /dev/acd0 0666 > perm /dev/acd1 0666 > perm /dev/cd0 0666 > perm /dev/cd1 0666 > > # Allow all USB Devices to be mounted > perm /dev/da0 0666 > perm /dev/da1 0666 > perm /dev/da2 0666 > perm /dev/da3 0666 > perm /dev/da4 0666 > > # Misc other devices > perm /dev/pass0 0666 > perm /dev/xpt0 0666 > perm /dev/agpart 0666 > perm /dev/uscanner0 0666 Fully okay. So the reason "wrong permissions" is also out of scope now. > VLC did not play the dvds either, took a while to compile it(for > troubleshooting this dvd problem).

As I'm not owning x64 at home, I sadly can't be more specific about this idea. > I have a similar amd64 machine that does play mostly everything in it, > but I installed mplayer differently > # pkg_add -r mplayer This installs mplayer with the default options which may not be optimal in some situations, especially if it's illegal in one's country to watch DVDs. :-) > ** had problems with KDE and lib???.so not working and startx refused > to work, last time I used ports. I always use ports for this. Although I'm a big fan of precompiled packages, mplayer and gmencoder are the tools I *insist* on building from source, both with a custom Makefile.local that defines ALL the codecs I want, which is _all_ of them. :-) > *However* that machine has SATA cables not IDE like this one, this is > my take on the issue.
