You added '--' but no filenames presented!
As you can see, I first entered "-dvd-device", because that's the way it is
listed in the man page and all the other documentation (like the web page and
such). mplayer, however, requires that the option be specified with two dashs;
ie. --dvd-device. That's true not only for "dvd-device" but for a number of
other options as well.
I verified that this bug is current, by downloading the daily CVS snapshot from
2005-01-18.

No, -dvd-device is the correct syntax. If it doesn't work, your MPlayer version
was compiled without DVD support. --dvd-device is not supposed to work!

Nonsense. You have a problem with your local configuration.
What are you talking about?
If you don't
believe me, just read the source.
Fine. Then the bug is not in the documentation but in the source. How do you
explain the output I pasted in the report?

Your MPlayer version is obviously compiled without DVD support. Do NOT reopen
this bug again --> INVALID.
Nonsense. You have a problem with your local configuration. If you don't
believe me, just read the source.
