Calum:
ogle, hmm? how come everybody goes on about mplayer being the best then? and how come a mate of mine used to routinely hire dvds and play them with xine?

also, why is ogle available as rpms, and mplayer has to be compiled? i am confused. I hope ogle comes with a gui. that foxed me a bit with mplayer...

i will have to wait till next week at least, i am off for five days with the buddhists for the turn of the year.

wrong, mplayer is availanle through apt-get for RPM and also for regular download here

flap:
Mplayer has a GUI. And, yes, both xine and mplayer can be used to play regular dvds.

When you install mplayer from the official website you have to edit a couple of things to be able to use the gui.
I installed it using apt-get and without doing anything else was able to start it with the gui, command is "gmplayer"

And how ould you do that? I've read on several websites that to be able to play encrypted dvd's you have to use Ogle, also as Calum stated Xine refuses to play encrypted dvd's.
Unless, as I mentioned before, you make Xine use DeCSS ....

i would except i am still completely clueless about it! if i can get ogle to work (it will be another week before i can find out as i am currently on a 5 day retreat at a buddhist college) then i might post my deductions in the faq. of course by then some other eager soul will have done it!
