Rented a DVD movie (the 3rd in the series Atlas Shrugged). It would not play with any media player (such as smplayer, vlc, Dragon Player, xine, totem, ... etc)
No errors in /var/log/messages.
I told the vendor, and they stuck it into a machine the "tests" it for playability. It took 5 seconds and it declared it playable :) :) Whatever .... The surface seemed OK on visual inspection. So, what could have gone wrong? Anyone have this problem?
