UI? Well I am a command line person. mplayer cannot understand DVD menus. That is the only problem mplayer has IMHO. I honestly tried vlc. But it was too GUI oriented, all sorts of ugly output like KDE and other C++ junk out there... Now I again it is my opinion. Can you tell me what vlc can do that mplayer can't? Have you tried to "study" mplayer's man pages, the html documentation and stuff? It takes a long time to learn but once learnt you start feeling that it is the best thing since sliced bread. This article should give an idea. http://linuxjournal.com/9787 Best, Girish
