Thanks to all for the suggestions. After much wasted time, it turns out the solution was: mount /dev/cdrom ... then several players worked fine. Until doing that, nothing worked. ------------- > John Macey asked: Do you have VLC installed? Yes, I tried VLC but that did not work. > Matt Graham suggested mplayer or xine or vcdimager Tried all three, but none worked. > coverturtle suggested "make sure you have all your updates" > then search and install brasero I did have all the latest updates (Linux Mint) and I did install and I tried brasero ... still no joy. But after much searching on the 'net, I finally found a solution which was: $ mount /dev/cdrom Then all the different players worked. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
