Hi, like others on this list I am seeing the following problem in all<br>the apps I've tried:<br>mplayer,xine,ogle,mythvideo,vlc<br><br>libdvdread: Invalid IFO for title 2 (VTS_02_0.IFO).<br><br>Now from what I've found out it seems to be that the libdvdread is
<br>getting up set that it cannot determine the Region setting for the<br>'DVD Drive' as this is an iso file there is no drive to query.<br><br>Has anyone else had this issue and worked past it? The interesting<br>
thing to note is that when I started using mythtv I managed to make an<br>ISO copy of a couple of my dvds then forgot what tool I used. Those<br>disks work 100% ok. Having forgotten the tool I used I've started<br>using k3b as it makes iso copies of the DVD and all of those so far
<br>only play to the title page. The main features all result in an<br>Invalid IFO error.<br><br>For reference I'm using the Mythdora 4.0 build as my custom myth box<br>went up in flames and I didn't want to spend an age getting the tv
<br>card working again.<br><font color="#888888">--<br>Martin Ritchie<br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">mythtv-users@mythtv.org</a>
