appended patch opens the devicefile connected to a drive as connected by the user in ~/.wine/config [Drive X] "Device" = "/dev/yyy". The appropriate action on that file ( read, write, set_file_pointer, ...) succeed according the the righte the user has on that device.
That way, I am able to open a unencrypted DVD with "DVD Shrink", inspect the structure and watch the movie, without mounting the DVD. ( For encryted DVD, I have on my disk the needed translation of the DeviceIOControls).
Thank you for your patch! I was also looking into it when a google search turned up your message on the newsgroup. Are you planning to make a patch for the DeviceIOControls? I've added them myself in order to allow DVD Shrink to use encrypted DVDs. As the implementation is just passing on the DeviceIOControl calls to linux ioctls I wonder why you haven't submitted a patch for this. If you have no plans for creating a patch, then I'm willing to do so.
Let me know what you intend to do,
Regards,
Hans Verkuil
