Re: [gentoo-user] Media Player
xine-ui is good at playing dvd's, complete with the full menu experience. Make sure you enable a number of use flags for xine-lib, including a52,dvd,xv.

You can try both and see which one suits your needs/preferences better. -- Regards, Mick pgp5ASmw3dF37.pgp Description: PGP signature

I like kaffeine, though other KDE users swear by kmplayer. Codine is a KDE frontend for xine that focuses on being simple to use. If you've chosen gnome as your desktop these will pull in some parts of KDE as dependencies, resulting in a bigger footprint both in memory and HD space, but should work fine and not affect the rest of your desktop. Alternatively, you could see if any friendly gnome user has a suggestion or two. -- If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability. -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh pgppQ3iZUivtc.pgp Description: PGP signature
RE: [gentoo-user] Media Player
Totem (based on xine); vlc and mplayer (or Gmplayer) are all good and fairly easy. Last time I checked (and it was yesterday), I inserted DVD; totem started and ran into movie - all automatic. I use Gnome as an interface.
