Hi there,

My first message here. I also have a problem with DVD plugin. My system: PIII 550/128MB/Nexus-S with Suse 9.1 + VDR 1.3.36 It plays every DVD but depending on the bitrate it does not play continually, the image (and sound) pauses for a moment then goes on. Just like it would be a software decoding (I experienced this when I'm trying to play in software mode eg. PowerDVD under Win), but as far as I know DVD should be plays via Nexus's mpeg decoder.

try this hdparm -X66 -d1 /dev/dvd(or a suitable device). with xine(not vdr) I had the sme prob..and mplayer...I figured....it must be DMA related :D

here is my problem..I'm using xine plugin.i've tried to set audio in xine to null..no efect. i'm having some problems with alsa it could be it..but..can't say
