Best Dvd Player

[dud]

what is the best dvd player (software) for linux?

[Taizong]

I would go with Xine. http://xine.sourceforge.net

Also, make sure to put MTRR support into the kernel. To use Xine, you need to make a sym-link to it for /dev/dvd. Do:

ln -s /dev/hdX /dev/dvd

X would be your DVD drive

Change its mod to 1777 (chmod 1777 /dev/hdX)

And get DMA going, hdparm -d 1 /dev/dvd


Just thought I would fill you in, those things caused my newbie tail grief the first time around.

Oh yea, you are gonna want to grab libcss (www.linuxvideo.org) to and the xine/libcss plugins (xine.cjb.net)
