Playing DVD's

[Billy Masopust]

Hello!
My experience with playing DVD's in Linux (any distro) has been a real 
battle.  There are some people out there that claim they were able to play 
DVD's out of the box, but conveniently, none of them can explain how they 
got it to work.  I do know for sure you need a dvd decrypter, which can be 
found on either freshmeat downloads or sourceforge.  I apologize for not 
being able to remember the names of the packages.  There are also a few 
other packages you need, like a menu reader and a playback package.  Also, a 
VERY good source for information on DVD playback in Linux is a web site at 
http://www.linuxquestions.org and search for the issue you are having.  This 
web site is a WEALTH of information.  I hope this helps you out.

Billy
