We could actually do this with starting with
non-encrypted DVD playback support as done with
Mplayer/Kaffeine/Totem/Ogle ported to Solaris and well
supported (latest versions). We should have open
source tools like Kmediafactory, DvdStyler, DVD
Author, Kaffeine, and K3b already ported over so
people can start working on DVD authoring on Solaris
today at the same level they can on Linux (open
source, though). 

I'm all for DVD playback support. Heck, the latest
Mplayer and Xine would be nice to see properly
supported. We can always add encrypt/decrypt libraries
later if its a license issue (or whatever) but let us
at least get the applications ported as well as their
dependencies for KDE/GNOME/JDS.
