    This has probably been discussed before, but is anyone actually using
    totem to play DVDs these days? I've tried variants from various distros
    and installed every gstreamer plugin I can think of, but it still won't
    work. Originally, it wouldn't recognise DVDs at all, of course, now it
    will either crash or give messages like

     don't know how to handle video/x-dvd-subpicture

    And, no, I don't think I want to use xine or mplayer or whatever
    instead. I think they all have pretty lousy UIs, and mplayer in
    particular has also proven to be rather unreliable. I know one
    application that generally just works most of the time, though: It's
    Ogle (http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~dvd/) Some of its features are
    incomplete, however, and it seems like there hasn't been a lot of
    development lately, and I've come across one DVD it won't play, so I
    thought I might try something else...
