the ERROR is :There is no input plugin to handle the location of this movie

and iam unable to access the VCD (
help me fast got sum EDITING to doo help

[praka123]

normally totem player will play it once u insert a vcd or dvd.
a quick solution will be to use xine-ui player or gmplayer and in their menu select cd or dvd to play.
i think mint comes with all codecs to play.

[azzu]

i mean when i insert the VCD the DRIVE is show empty suddly totem player comes and display's the error message
and then there's no drive
it just disappear's

[praka123]

totem shows error because it may not have the backend enabled to support playing.i mean some gstreamer plugins(totem-gstreamer).u do a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install totem-xine" and it will hopefully play ur video.

also make sure ur vcd can be seen(mounted) in some directory /media/cdrom etc.

^^ how to mount the VCD help

[mehulved]

You just can't mount audio and video cd's like data cd's. They don't use iso9660 fs.

prakash bro Did wat u said but still no result
i still dont hav access to my CD-rom

Which kernel are you using? post the output of

uname -r

There were a few kernels in between where I've heard people complain that VCD's didn't work.

^^^this is ur cdrom/dvd drive.
this is a known problem with new kernels.ur DVD/CD drive is better supported with old pata drivers(ide-cd) while the kernel is using new libata sata emulation drivers for IDE/PATA.

This is a problem faced by me and many others.but for me, /dev/sr0 or /dev/scd0 works well in my system for my samsung octoedge dvd writer.
For you,I think http://ubuntuforums.org may give some help.I too will look for a solution.although i experimented my forcibly prevented loading sr_mod module.
For the time being,try gksudo gedit /etc/modules and enter "ide-cd" in a new line and save,exit.

but prakash bhai it worked for first day and was able to acces all the CD-rom files
Help me

Open up XINE => show controls => click 'VCD' tab on controls!
OR mplayer => right click => VCD => open disc!

U cannot mount VCDs to play them and hence it is different from "DATA" CDs/DVDs. The software does everything for u when u wanna play VCD/DVD!!

[azzu]

^^ when i do that Mplayer say's
ERROR :failed to open vcd://2

[mediator]

U simply unmount ur VCD (i.e do not mount it manually or automatically as in for data CDs) and then try mplayer or xine. It means u simply put ur VCD in without mounting it and then let the software do its task!
Check this!

If ur VCD still doesn't play, then may be its corrupted! Try some other vcd.
