[gentoo-user] DVD Problems...

[Benjamen R. Meyer]

I recently got a couple seasons of Star Gate SG-1, and can read nearly 
all the DVDs except the 3rd DVD of Season 2, which under Kernel 
2.6.24-gentoo-r4 yielded the following error messags to dmesg:

hdc: media error (bad sector): status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: media error (bad sector): error=0x30 { LastFailedSense=0x03 }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown

cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!

First thing I did was verify it was a good disc by putting it in my 
Windows laptop I use for work and running WinDVD. It played just fine, 
so I know it has to be some part of the linux system not understanding 
the disk.

Second thing I did was upgrade to the "latest" kernel - 2.6.24-gentoo-r7 
- to see if that would solve the problem since it seemed like the DVD 
driver was not able to recognize the disk at all. It successfully got 
rid of the error from 'dmesg'; however, xine (0.99.5) is still unable to 
play the disk - complaining about not being able to load the plug-in for 
the MRL. Other DVDs from the same boxset (even the two discs after it) 
play just fine under both kernels. Also, I can't mount the disc.

I also ran 'xine' with the verbose flag. You can find the output at 
http://www.geocities.com/bm_witness/gentoo/xinedvd.txt.gz
(sorry, for some reason Yahoo/Geocities didn't want to accept a standard 
text file, so I had to gzip it.)

I'm not afraid to do some kernel hacking to resolve this if someone 
would point me in the right direction to do so - or at least to 
providing some help to it.

FYI: /dev/dvd points to hdc. Trying to open '/dev/hdc' yields the same 
results - though no information in the logs. :-<

I'd very much like to find a solution to this problem.

Any help, tips, etc. would be very much appreciated.

TIA,

Ben

It seems that a sector on the disk might be bad. Windows reads around
the sector somehow is my guess. I'm not very familiar with xine. I use
either mplayer or videolan (aka vlc). What I would try to do is, run
the disk without mounting it; just tell your program to read directly
from the device.....I'm not sure if you are already doing this, if you
are try the reverse: mount then play the .VOB files.

I've run into this problem a number of times on my Linux systems. In a
couple of cases what where essentially scratched disks played on both
my HT DVD player as well as Windows but would not play in xine.

I talked with the xine guys and they said (at the time maybe 3-4 years
ago) that their error recovery wasn't nearly as good as they wanted it
to be. At that time xine was the best around.

A READ10 issue is potentially a firmware issue in the drive since it's
the drive's processor formatting up data to send over the cable. My
suggestion would be try it on every system you have there. Some drives
read around problems better or do better correction at the drive.
Maybe you can find a firmware upgrade for the specific drive. Not
specific to these READ10 errors but some folks using 1394 peripherals
have improved performance in this sort of situation.

HTH,
Mark

It would be nice to have something similar to cdparanoia for (video) dvds...

So I started watching the disc in question on my Windows laptop and it 
hung during one of the episodes. Restarting WinDVD and playing with 
where I was in the stream got past it; but with that I called it bad 
disc and got a swap'd out set today. So it seems the first issue (likely 
a header issue) was able to be gotten around easily, but with the second 
hang there seemed to be multiple issues.I confirmed all new discs are 
readable by Xine - at least to load the disc. Now I (joyfully) get to 
watch them all again to confirm they are all 100% good discs
.
Any how...would be nice for a little better error correction too; I 
wasn't quite ready to call it a bad disc with just the header issue; but 
with a second issue there was definitely something wrong at the disc level.

Thanks for all the help and tips.
