Reply: (edit)The problem we have with dvd in
linux is as much a legal one as it is
a tec problem. Some of the componets that
are required to decode dvds are possoble
causes of legal battles (A shame that the
law will stand in the way of science, but then
I guess it allways has)So most dis will
not give you a working dvd player......

Reply: (edit)Are you sure you're using the right software to play the DVDs? I typically use Ogle, but sometimes use mplayer; others swear by Xine. Markp1313 is right about there being legal issues, however, which isn't fair considering they give away the Windows software that comes with DVD drives. Regardless, be aware of this, as you may have to download the decoder software to play your DVDs, which may be illegal (ha) in your country. Good luck.
