I use ogle. Ogle uses libdvdread, which currently can't seek backward. The UI isn't quite the same as you'd get from a standalone DVD player, and I'd be careful what keys I pressed when in fullscreen mode. I've managed to get it not responding to keypresses before by pressing something that confused it - I have NFI what it was though. > Is divx the format DVD's are recorded in? So ogle plays divx movies? DVDs are recorded in MPEG2 with a variety of audio formats. One of the most common ones is AC3, which is basically a six channel mp3. DivX is a modified MPEG4 format, which is a lot smaller but needs more CPU to display. -- Joseph Carter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Certified free software nut <Crow_> hmm, is there a --now-dammit option for exim?
