You could try setting up totem-xine, totem with an xine backend,

If you are just looking for the gstreamer codecs to install, this
should be of interest:

Totem does support DVDs, but you need to install libdvdcss

Menachem
When I said "learning curve" above, I meant regarding multimedia
stuff.  I figured that it might just, oh, ... I don't know ..., work?

Regarding the libdvdcss, I remember poking around a bit and I yum
installed something that contained it, but it didn't seem to help.

Multimedia is it's own learning curve and I've barely scratched the
surface.

But thanks for the hints.

# yum list all | grep totem
totem.i386                 2.18.1-3.fc7           installed
totem-mozplugin.i386       2.18.1-3.fc7           installed
totem-plparser.i386        2.18.1-3.fc7           installed
gnome-python2-totem.i386   2.18.0-1.fc7           fedora
totem-devel.i386           2.18.1-3.fc7           fedora

This doesn't reveal a totem-xine.

# yum list all | grep xine
gxine.i386                 0.5.11-4.fc7           installed
gxine-mozplugin.i386       0.5.11-4.fc7           installed
oxine.i386                 0.6.6-3.fc7            installed
xine-lib.i386              1.1.7-1.fc7            installed
xine-lib-devel.i386        1.1.7-1.fc7            installed
xine-lib-extras.i386       1.1.7-1.fc7            installed
xine-plugin.i386           1.0-3.fc7              installed
xinetd.i386                2:2.3.14-12.fc7        installed

This reflects the fact that I yum-installed everything xine.  This
didn't help.
Everything *fedora* xine, that is.

I'll take a look at the links you provided.
New repositories sure do expand horizons.

Watching DVDs on my PC.  This is kool.

-me finally feels da need for da bigga screen now man

Congratulations.

But hey! .. you should write up a case study and recipe (in as much
detail as you feel like) on your problem and overcoming it, and post it
on the KPLUG Wiki.

I don't have any experience writing documentation. But I guess I gotta start somewhere, no?

I've seen the KPLUG Wiki from a browsing standpoint, but don't know anything about contributing. How do I go about it? Do I create content in a text editor, word processor, or html editor? How do I upload it once I'm done? I understand that a wiki is something that one person can create and others can come and edit. I just don't know any of the mechanisms.
