Do you have either xine or mplayer installed? You need at least one of them in your system in order to playback DVDs. If it's installed, then check the log files in /var/log/freevo to see what command it used, and if that command works if you ran xine/mplayer from the command line. > > Should I be able to get the DVD Menu like I get when I insert it into a > "standalone" dvd-player?
