Never liked gmplayer, it tends to crash on my system, while mplayer |
22 |
itself has no problems at all. But to your question, I would sincerely |

check my DVD drive, I also had problems exactly like yours, the |
24 |
problem was a dying DVD drive that could not read some discs, and even |

those discs seem to be readable once in a while... Let me ask you, is |

this a notebook or laptop? |
