I am getting an error similar to this when I try to watch dvd's. Every program has a similar version of this.
Code:
unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///dev/dvd'
For VLC I have found a way to fix it.
Quote:
When I open VLC is doesn't say /dev/cd (as in CrunchyFree's case) or /dev/dvd as in your case, I have one optical drive and it says /dev/sr0.
When you open VLC go Open Disk>DVD or CD button as appropriate>Manually edit the Disk Device box as appropriate.

The file [vlcrc] is the one you need to edit
Find
# DVD device (string)
#dvd=/dev/dvd
and edit it as follows:
# DVD device (string)
#dvd=/dev/dvd
dvd=/dev/sr0
Is there a way to make these changes permanent in all of your media player programs? I really don't want to have to figure this out for every media player program I have.

Dell workstation that has a DVD/RW that will write to DVD and CD in windows.
Running RHEL5.1 and using Nautilus CD burner application.
The drive will write to DVD but doesn't recognize blank CD-RW when inserted.
Any ideas how to write to DVD and CD?
Thanks,

Solaris 8....
I have a script that burns data to CD/DVD. Is there a way in the script to check if the disk in the CD/DVD drive is a CD or DVD? I thought maybe there would be an option with 'cdrw' but it doesn't look like it from the man pages.
Thanks in advance! (0 Replies)
