DVD Decoder/Players for Linux? 3
Robotech_Master
asks:
"I have a Sony 5x DVD-ROM drive, and a Hollywood + decoder
for it. At the moment, I have to boot to Windows to watch
DVDs, and would rather not have to do that. Has anybody
written H+-compatible drivers or software decoders for
Linux? I'd prefer a hardware driver, but my C300A/450
with 192 megs of RAM is enough of a workhorse to do it in
software if I had to. What issues are there that prevent
people from writing such drivers? How can they be overcome?
I expect that DVD-ROM programs for Linux will come about
sooner or later, but the only way it can be sooner is if
people get around to it... " Good point! Does anyone have
any useful status reports?
the lack of comments is worrying (Score:1)
I have heard that someone had a driver up and running for some board ! I was invetigating it for software and did not take much notice sorry.
isn't it a standard so writeing software should be fairly easy (but complex in actual fact)
there was a group of people wantng to develope a card which was GPL design I think!
please I also would like to know more
