The Xine that would come with the MDK CD's won't contain the DVD plugin for encrypted DVD's (most of them) due to legal reasons. I have heard more and more complaints about the RPM's off the lpf site for MPlayer. Still I urge those who can to configure their own on their own system. This increases performance dramatically. Use CVS versions of both mplayer and libavcodec (links in the MPlayer documentation). I have a 100% success almost all the time using a self-made versions, regarding DVD's, playing all sorts of files, and ripping to DivX. So yes, your basic solution would be to read the manual on MPlayer and compile it yourself. It's not that hard, I promise, you only have to know the basics and know how to read (documentation).... and with a little effort you will have a player that out-plays the rest, regarding performance and options.
