I've just installed MPlayer on Kknoppix 3.7 and I'm getting an error when I try to play a dvd. I can see the dvd playing, but all I hear is a steady gibberish sound. Here's the error that I get in the terminal, does anyone know why I'm getting this error (Couldn't find matchinf filter!). My dvd is working Perfectly fine with XINE, please help:

look into the settings, audio and codecs & demuxers tab inteh Mplayer prefs. You can mess with those. I'm not 100% sure but I had the same problem and I fixed it in there. post the fix her. I gotta start documenting stuff.

I've tried many of the combinations there in the audio and demuxers tab and I can't still get the right sound. Actually now there's not even a sound and I already defaulted to the way it was, which was making the buzzing sound. Any more ideas, please help.

It's funny. This buzzing sound does it for only one specific movie under MPlayer. I tested out other movies and MPlayer plays perfectly fine. I guess I can live with that. The thing I don't like about is that it goes right into playing the dvd and doesn't give the screen options where you can choose features, languages, etc.

Download and install the libdts (http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libd/libdts/libdts_0.0.2-svn.orig.tar.gz) and re-compile the MPlayer with the --enable-libdts option.

Try this. Download it, burn it and boot the machine with it. Boots in about 30 seconds (depending on hardware of course). No install to the harddrive. Played lots of different files for me and has a dvd player. I am using it till I settle on a distro to use fulltime and get mplayer installed.

Well, I tried geexbox. I tell you what...it seems to a pretty cool OS, but there was a problem when boot it up in my computer. The screen on my computer kept flickering. I could see the main menu and loaded up a dvd to see if I would get past that flickering. I could see the movie but, of course, my screen was..how do I describe it...scribbish and flickering. Any ideas what was happenning?

I used GeeXboX 0.98.5 - English Version.

The problem you have is only the matter of selecting right audio track. In "menu/DVD/audio language/" you should select another one audio. The 'dts' encoding is only the encoding for home theatre systems, used by DVD-players. When you watch films on PC, you should use something like dobly digital.
