</div>As I mentioned earlier ... using xine it all seems to work.<br>
<br>
Interesting about the device names. Like Ray said, /dev/dvd (etc) are<br>
all links. In my case (and I suspect yours) they point to /dev/sr0,<br>
/dev/sr1, etc.<br>
<br>
Now that brings up the question: what are these devices? used to be<br>
that my cdroms were /dev/hdX.<br>

</div>My nvidia is working just fine. Did you try with different versions? I<br>
think that my restricted hardware installer shows about 3 different<br>
versions. I'm using the latest 185.18.36.<br>

Try to rip the error-inducing DVD, using something like k9copy or acetoneiso2. Don't need to encode it to AVI, if the app gives you an option, just rip it to normal mpeg.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Personally this happens with a lot of home-made and in-house (ie. not commercial) DVDs, where I see that error, and the ripping stops abruptly. They can be ripped fine in other operating systems.</div>
