scsi dvd player

[jabr at blu.org (John Abreau)]

About a year ago I installed an IDE dvdrom in one of my machines to
experiment with, and the performance was abysmal. I had tried various
players under linux, and mplayer gave the "best" performance at the time,
but even that was incredibly jerky, with frequent audio dropouts.

A few weeks ago I ordered a scsi dvdrom drive (Pioneer DVD-305S, which
appears to be the only dvdrom drive available that uses scsi). It arrived
last week, and this morning I finally got around to installing it.

I fired up mplayer to test it, and found that it works beautifully.
No jerkiness, no audio dropouts, and crystal clear video.
