[lug] DVD recommendations

[j davis]

All you need  to do is download libdvdcss
and libxml, libdvdnav (not needed but cool)libdvdread

http://www.videolan.org/libdvdcss/download.html

and use your player of choice.....
MPlayer ,Xine, Ogle...

I personnaly like MPlayer the best but Ogle was
the easiest to install.I did not need any decoder cards or anything
just my cheap ($80) toshiba dvd player, I have not tried for dolby 5.1 yet,
I will need a good soundcard to do 5.1 decodeing.Maybe I'll try the
soundblaster Audigy when i have a little money and Im sure that 80%
of its features are supported under linux.

Happy DVDing,
jd
