Hi All,
I used to just install all of the right PLF packages to play DVD's (even encrypted ones) on Mandrake. That obviously doesn't work on SUSE 9.2. I did get it going however. These 2 pages were essential:
http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/xine/
http://www.john.todd.dsl.pipex.com/
The first is a link to a site that downloads the xine source daily and compiles and packages them as RPM's for download, all statically linked for easy install. Download the libdvdcss, xinelib and xine ui and then install them, css first. For some other Windows media files you'll also want the win32 codecs.
The second page describes how to enable DMA (??) on your DVD drive, which is important to avoid 'stuttering' when playing DVD's. Mine stuttered badly until I enabled it. Now it's as smooth as the proverbial baby's....
The setup was straightforward and quick once I found the right info - which took me until 3am (!)....
Hope this helps someone else.
Cheers
Jason
