DVD Playback Hi! I'm trying to watch a (protected) DVD with BSplayer by using "DVD Region+CSS Free" trial. My problem is that when I hopen 1GB VOBs the player stucks (as it is buffering the whole file). I have no problem with smallest (50-100MB) protected files. It's a BSplayer problem or a CSS Free one? Or it could be a decoder problem (Elecard)? But I don't think so... If someone (adicoto?) can help me I would appreciate it very much :wink: Thanks :) |
I must try this before giving an answer. BSPlayer's fault, I don't think, I've played files bigger than that. Elecard ? Neither, same reason. Probably other software included in process, or maybe descrambling the file requires a large amount of free space on hard drive ? (FAT or NTFS ?) |
FAT32.... :( I've tried with only one DVD, I ca try with another one. Quote:
Thank you again :) |
Ok, I made some tests. I tried to see another DVD (LordOfTheRingsSpecialExtendedEdition) and after 20 seconds the playback started :shock: ! WOW! The list of available audio strams also let me to choose between languages! An here I found one problem (don't know if BSplayer or Elecard or AC3 Filter) when I changed audio stram in the first 7-8 minutes of first VOB the playback restarted from the first frame, but BSplayer time counter continued to go on from those 7-8 minutes :? The same beaviour appened also wen seeking. Note: after other tests I noticed that not always this appens, but quite frequently But if I seek or change audio stream after the first 7-8 minutes everithing works fine!! Then I tried again my previous DVD and with Sysinternals Process Explorer utility I inspected BSplayer process, and saw that BSplayer buffered the DVD stream (by watching the I/O Read Bytes column). In fact after the I/O Read Bytes counter reached the 1GB dimension, the playback of my DVD started, and this seemed strange to me, since with the LOTR DVD BSplayer didn't buffered it.... I hope this can be fixed or that a full DVD playback support is added to BSplayer (or that I can find a solution to this inconveniences) :wink: Thank you adicoto for reporting that you had no problem in watching DVDs with BSplayer, so I was able to see that not all my DVDs act that way :) |
Normaly, FAT32 is limited to 2GB files. It may be the problem of descrambling to a larger file than 2 GB and only NTFS (under win) can accept files larger than 2 GB. |
AFAIK FAT32 limit is 4GB (2GB is for FAT16), but it should not be a problem to me since the maximum VOBs size is 1GB (for my tested DVDs)... And CSS Free works on the fly (I don't know if it uses hard memory, but I don't think so) and if I enable/disable it, immediately the video on BSplayer becomes readable/scrambled... Plus, after 2-3 VOBs have playied, the ProcessExplorer I/O Read Bytes column indicates only about 50MB read from CSS Free... At the moment I can't try with NTFS partitions, but when I will have more time I'll try. Thank you :wink: |
