Hardy Alpha6: Ripping og reading DVDs fails. Ok in Gutsy !

[moma]

Hello,

This is a rather peculiar case.

I bought a Star Trek Enterprise Season 4 DVD Box Set. I use the dvdrip application to make my own personal copy of the DVDs. This is what happens.

On Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy):
I can rip the DVDs and I can copy the contents of the DVDs to my PC without any errors.
See the pictures: http://bildr.no/view/170071 and http://bildr.no/view/170073
---
On Hardy Heron (any alpha release), installed on the the same machine, different partition:
I cannot rip the DVD. It outputs a lot of I/O errors. Also plain copy (cp -fr) fails with the same errors. DMesg is full of I/O errors.
Study this pictures: http://bildr.no/view/170077 and http://bildr.no/view/170078

I have tried several Hardy Installations (both 32 and 64 bits) on this same PC. They all fail to read any video DVDs properly. I have tried other film DVDs and all fails somehow on Hardy. I have checked the cables. They are ok.

I know this is a difficult issue because I have no further evidence to come up with.
I will now try different kernels both with Ubuntu 7.10, Ubuntu 8.04 and Mandriva which I also run on th same pc.
So long....

The previous attachments and links are reports from the Hardy installation. So is this one.

I can't believe this.
My DVDs are region encrypted, so the libdvdread3 package is needed for playback.

Is this still reproducible with Karmic?

Hello,
Playback of DVDs works fine if I install libdvdcss2 and libdvdread4 packages.
See this guide: http://www.futuredesktop.org (step 7)

You may close this bug.

Can't reproduce on Lucid.
Closing.
