Hello,

Why do you want to attribute the better result do mplayer ? no sense to 
that.
I also get regularly awful I/O errors on diverse operations with the CD 
and DVD devices, be it burning, or else, such as ripping, but there is 
no clue till here. It's mystic, I was advised to put garlic on the 
machine :rolleyes!:

If someone has clues, or if you find out what the trouble comes from, 
I'd be
most interested, as I did search quite long, with diverses graphical 
frontends, with tools in the shell, and on the web too.(CD and DVD are 
close cousins, aren't they ?)
Greetings, Joyce Markoll.
