Finaly i menage to install xine :) wweeee.
but im still have 1 problem or two. If i execute the command xine and i press on play i says that not exist /dev/dvd (how do i create a device called dvd?) after this my question is, if i press play and he finds the /dev/dvd thoes he plays by him self normaly, like windvd, or do i have to chose parts of filme to see, something like xime <file.vob> and then to continue <file2.vob>, i don't have to do this do i? or just xine, play, he finds the /dev/dvd, and i don't have to do anything, and how to i chose the subtitles on the xine program.
Thanks for your help

I created a symbolic link to the dvd. If your dvd drive is /dev/cdrom, do

ln -s /dev/cdrom dev/dvd
as root.

But i don't have a device called dvd, how do i creat it?
News update, i menage to do xine video_vob it workd he plays but it always returns an error like segmentation error. so i tried to do xine video1_vob and the video2_vob, it workd he plays, but very slow, like the games, runs and stops, runs and stops, how can i avoid this?
Thanks

That's basically what you're doing when you make a symbolic link, is "creating" a device called dvd.

What's your dvd drive called under linux? (It's obviously not /dev/dvd but it has to be something.) On mine, it's /dev/cdrom. If you have more than one drive, maybe it's /dev/cdrom1. Anyway, use the command I just posted and what it does is whenever a program or user looks for /dev/dvd it automatically redirects them to the drive.

I may be wrong but isn t /dev/cdrom a symbolic link as well? I think /dev/hda(,b,c,d) are the real devices recognized by kernel. I ve heard it s too bad to make a symbolic link to a symbolic link. I don t know why but I heard it s not good.

Okey, i made the symbolic link but in the "xine" when i press the DvD button e returns with the following error "input_dvd: unable to open dvd drive (/dev/dvd): Permission denied
I must do what here, something like chmod 777?
Thanks

You could be right, fateswarm.

When I watch dvds in xine, I have to click the "d4d" button, not the "dvd" one... so give that a try.
