Hi at all,
i've a DATA dvd (contain ONLY software zipped ).
The first time i've loaded this DVD , i have viewed directory and unzip software.
Now puppy lucid 5.2.5 recognize the data DVD like a VIDEO DVD and startGNOME DVD mplayer ( whith error message, obviusly), so i cant't access to files/ directory store in dvd.

For make to recognize like data , whath is the solution (and if i load a TRUE dvd video can recognize it..)

Thanks

I have to click on the sr0 icon on the desktop to mount it and to be able to see the data on such a DVD.

[iw2evk]

No,

if i mount the cd (or klik on icon after mount ) start DVD reader..

Hi iw2evk
I have run in to this also.

From the menu-Filesystem use pmount mount/unmount drives.


Then mplayer won't popup

Hope this helps!

Edit:

This seems to have been fixed in the development version
of 526... Thanks to their team!

Lookingglass360 told you that it is an issue in lucid 5.25 and that you should install the pre-5.2.6 version, which is now 262.

Hi,

downloaded and installed Lucid Puppy 5.2.5 Instant Update 001

Nothing change..

You are trying to mount the DVD using the DVD device.
Instead, have you tried using Pmount and mounting /dev/sr0?
The reason I ask is that /dev/DVD may not be associated with /dev/sr0.

Also, have you ran menu, setup, CD/DVD Drive Wizard?

Hi,

No, the first time i've click on sr0 icons and i can read/serf in DVD data directory.
The second time starting the dvdv reader and it's immpossible to change applicatio

Instead, have you tried using Pmount and mounting /dev/sr0?
Yes, no result . after mount start the dvd reader

The reason I ask is that /dev/DVD may not be associated with /dev/sr0.
Exact : the dev/sr0 semm not associable to dvd data type.Someone in the recognize system it's wrong or corrupt, because a DVD data its nota DVD video!



Also, have you ran menu, setup, CD/DVD Drive Wizard?

Try this:

Right click on one of the drive icons on the desktop.
Select Run Desktop Drive Icon Manager
Select Icon Handler tab
Un-check Auto Detection.
Select OK.

Have to restart X server for changes to take effect.
menu->shutdown->Restart X server

[iw2evk]

Nothing again !

If i decheck the sr0 it's not mounted ..if i receck restart dvd viewer.
Tomorrow i try to spit files and save in 2 cdr and retry..
I due use this files , no more time to test..

Thanks to all

Find out what format it is in and force mount it to that type.

What I did to DVD's that are not standard ISO or DVD-video.

on a command line type
