Hi. I'm planning to make a new release of libdvdread in about a week. Help is needed to test that it works on all differents platforms before the release. If you have time please test libdvdread from: http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~dvd/dist/libdvdread-0.9.4-cvs.tar.gz or cvs and report back here if it works or not and include what platform and compiler was used. Example: I have tested on: FC4 linux/amd64/gcc4 both 64bit and 32bit (by setting CFLAGS="-m32") works. Changes from previous release: New function calls: DVDInit() and DVDFinish(), neither needs to be used if you don't use libdvdread from different threads. New environment variables: DVDREAD_VERBOSE, set this to alter the verbosity on stderr. Default is 0 which only prints internal errors and misconfigurations. -1 never print errors. 1 print 'normal' errors and notifications. DVDREAD_USE_DIRECT, if set libdvdread will open all files with the O_DIRECT flag on systems that defines O_DIRECT. All blockreads must be to aligned buffers when this variable is set. Alignment varies between systems. All internal buffers in libdvdread use 2048 bytes alignment. I don't know which systems except linux that uses O_DIRECT so please tell me if you know. Also, is there any system that needs alignment more than 2048 bytes when reading from raw devices or with O_DIRECT? Some small bugs and potential memory leaks have been fixed. Better error handling/reporting. Some options to the configure scripts were added. If you have any problems or have any patches that you think should be included in this release, tell me as soon as possible. /Bj|rn
