Hi all,
I have got Kubuntu FF (7.04) on my PC. When I try to play VCDs, the
player crashes, but DVDs work fine. When I try to copy the .DAT file,
it gives me an IO Error. The same VCDs used to work fine on Dapper.
Google doesn't seem to give any workable solution. Has any one of you
used VCDs on their Feisty Fawns or should I wait for a week to get
7.1.0?
PS: It has been some embarrassment for me when I was showing off Linux
to some newbies.

This is the reason you are not able to copy the DAT file also.
I have experienced the same problem with mplayer.
I have no idea how to solve it but my experience is that gentoo linux plays
VCDs properly but OpenBSD doesn't.
However with DVDs, there is no such problem.
Best,
Girish
