There are so many! Have a look at:

Please note that the gstreamer totem that ships with FC4 needs some gstreamer plugins. Then it will play DVD's just fine.

Totem-xine works fine. Totem-xine is Totem, but with Xine as audio engine.

Can anyone tell me where I can get Xine or mplayer. They're not in the default FC4 repositories as yum can't find them

MPlayer and Xine can oth be found in the livna repo: http://rpm.livna.org/
Xine is better, in my opinion.

I have had videos that won't play in mplayer but will in xine or the other way around. It is nice to have both.

Put the following:
[livna] name=Livna.org Fedora Compatible Packages baseurl=http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.lvn enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY
in a file called livna.repo and put that file in /etc/yum.repos.d/
Then do
yum install mplayer xine
It will magically install them (from livna), AND all their dependencies.

There's an easier option described here:

It has the virtue of keeping the repo file and GPG key under RPM management.

After struggling for a while with totem and xine (probably missing plugins), I've switched to videolan-client (vlc). Plays everything I've thrown at it so far.

Do you mind if i ask if videolan-client can play encrypted DVD's also ? I don't have any problems playing unencrypted DVD's , VCDs , mp3's or whatsoever , it's only with encrypted DVD's that i have problems

Of course it can. From the vlc features page:
[1] DVD decryption is done through the libdvdcss library.
The same library anything else uses for playing encrypted dvds.

Well it seems that i run out of luck at another point . I am using Fedora Core 1 . Dag Wiers had an rpm for Fedora Core 1 , so theoretically everything should be ok .
But , Take a look :

My apologies for the messy output , can you tell me , what is missing here ? The rpm is supposed to be for Fedora Core 1 ( although the original question was for Fedora Core 4 i think ) so everything should be ok ?

In general, any package depends on a number of libraries, and rpm checks if those dependencies are installed, but does not install them.
You need to use yum.
yum install vlc
will install vlc AND dependencies.

Well i have never tried that before . I have a 56K dialup connection so i prefer to download one rpm at a time instead of using yum ( if for example i try to update my system and yum chooses to download a kernel source for example , then i am doomed ... ) . Anyway i will try that now thanks

( you insert everything but the architecture and the rpm extension )

You are missing several packages that are needed for videolan.
Use yum to install videolan (if the repositories are still available) so yum can handle the dependencies for you. Otherwise you will need to manually identify the packages required to satisfy the dependencies and install them one at a time.
You should be able to set up Dag's FC1 repository and get most of those there.
I see at least the libFLAC, xosd, faad, and libdvdread packages. Probably others as well.

True, but recently I found that it does not play mp3surroundhttp://www.iis.fraunhofer.de/amm/download/mp3surround/downloadpage.htmland HD-WMVhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/content_provider/film/ContentShowcase.aspx. Well that is only for its all round capability. In any case VLC is very good, no doubts. Also mp3surround is not very popular AFAIK and HD-WMV (or equivalent) is likely to be popular.

Another problem with DVD players is that while most of DVD's Audio content is some flavour of multichannel sound (5.1 or higher), it is difficult to make it work on Linux platform. If you know that it is simple please tell me - lots of thanks in advance. I am finding it very difficult to get a true 5.1 output without down-mixing to 2 channels. I do have a 5.1 channel audio hardware (mobo - Intel D865GBF integrated audio) fully tested with OEM drivers (only windows via dual boot). I have installed latest ALSA drivers 1.0.9, kernel-smp-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4.i686.rpm, VLC, Mplayer, Xine, Totem, gstreamer and what not. FC4 is installed 100% through RPM and there are no unresolved dependencies. Finally and most importantly there is some 5.1 media (content) available for testing the audio. Kmix gives me an option to select(ed) 6ch and other multichannel settings. But sound output is not available on all 6 speakers. In stereo mode, sound system works for pure pleasure. Again I thank you for your suggestions in advance and will submit additional specific info required to solve this problem. On 10/19/05, Anil Kumar Sharma xplusaks@gmail.com wrote:

I'd love to hear what you find out. You might get better results asking on specialty mailing lists that deal with specifically the sound stuff or with specific DVD software. Your question is more likely to get lost here. (I hope it doesn't.)
