[Dustin Widmann (blackwaltz)]

Can you still confirm this with Hardy? (I can't)

[Ramon Casha (rcasha)]

Yes, this is hardy. Since upgrading to hardy final I tried it again with other DVDs and they're also giving errors, like:

root@desktop:~# dvdbackup -o xx -F
libdvdread: Invalid IFO for VMGM (VIDEO_TS.IFO).
libdvdread: Invalid IFO for VMGM (VIDEO_TS.IFO).
Error reading MENU VOB
Mirror of main feature file which is title set 1 failed
Mirror of main feature film of DVD failed

root@desktop:~# lsdvd

*** libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in ifo_read.c:1678 ***
*** for info_length % sizeof(uint32_t) == 0 ***

another dvd:

*** libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in ifo_read.c:1543 ***
*** for info_length % sizeof(cell_adr_t) == 0 ***

*** libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in ifo_read.c:1678 ***
*** for info_length % sizeof(uint32_t) == 0 ***

*** libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in ifo_read.c:1543 ***

libdvdread: Invalid title IFO (VTS_01_0.IFO).
libdvdread: Invalid IFO for title 1 (VTS_01_0.BUP).
Can't open ifo 1!

I also confirm on a fresh install of Hardy, After following the steps described here to play DVD : https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html#video-dvd
Totem-gstreamer is unable to play DVD. Gxine start playing the DVD, then when the DVD menu must appear I have this error : "error reading nav packet"

[Ramon Casha (rcasha)]

Yay! I managed to get past this error. All I had to do is run

/usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh

The error messages shown however had me looking in all the wrong places. Something like "decss not found" would have simplified matters a lot.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Seems the issue is fixed for Ramon.

[Ramon Casha (rcasha)]

It's been marked as "invalid" but the error messages displayed should still be clearer. If the install-css.sh script has not been run the message should give instructions on doing so.
