DOS ain't dead

In drdos.org stands about MPlayer:

"A list of supported features like DVD etc. is available at the official site of the DJGPP port: http://mik.mkw.ru/dos-stuff/ (temporarily dead, see forum thread: BTTR). It?s the only real-time DVD player for DOS by now."

So, explain me, please, how can I play DVD with MPlayer. Which parameters shall I write into commandline.

No idea The claim that "MPLAYER is the only DVD player for DOS" was entered by by FloX, I only added the "realtime" ... reportedly there is desperately slow DVD4DOS product also ...

I don't have a DVD drive and dislike DVD's

We have to wait that FloX answers or you can mail him.

[Begin quote]

The syntax to play a standard DVD is as follows:
mplayer dvd://<track> [-dvd-device <device>]

Example:
mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /dev/hdc

[End quote]

> mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /dev/hdc

Does it work for you (in DOS) ?

Solved!
The correct parameter is:

Mplayer dvd://<track> -dvd-device <drive letter>

example:
Mplayer dvd://2 -dvd-device f:

(first track is usualy menu or copyright warning, film itself is 2nd or 3rd)
