    I agree with you. As users of Linux in general, one
    can choose which application to install to view DVD's.
     Take xine, ogle, mplayer, kplayer, totem, etc..,
    whichever one works for you. The installation method
    whether via rpm -ivh, rpm -Uvh, yum, apt-get, from
    source *.tar.gz, *.tar.bz2 with ./configure, make, and
    make install, whatever works for you. This is the
    beauty of linux. Failed dependencies, lib***.so
    missing this or that, all the messages that we
    encounter all but make us stronger and more determined
    to make something work. And if we don't know how to
    make something work, we ask for help and someone
    somewhere with the same problem that has solved it
    helps us and guides us to make it work.

    Thanks to all in the list,

    Antonio
