ALthough, in compelte honesty, MPLayer sux for DVDs. It can play them just fine, but that's all it can do. Forget menu navigation, screenshots, and all the other nifty bits that xine _can_ do with DVDs. That's why i recommend xine for DVDs, its significantly better for them.

The web site mentions that it has DVD capabilities in it - and tells you what you need to to encrypted! A nice change from xine.On Mon, 6 Jan 2003 20:41:49 -0500 "Brett I.

I understand almost all of the stuff we use is done by people like us in our spare time but it seems the docs or at least a decent overview of what a package does and what you need is lacking on most things out there - even some of the "professional" ones!
Docs are NOT optional! <G>.

I'm getting ready to merge xine on my Gentoo and wanted to find out what I really needed (I installed xine on a WS 3.1 and remember having to sort through all the mess to find out what was what- but that was a while ago). After reading the xine docs and websites I went to your SxS on xine. The xine project isn't the best at really telling you what does what and what you need to do what you want!
