Hi Hetta...
Personally I was never able to get mplayer to work properly, so I switched
to xine and kaffeine to solve my problems. I'm sure others may have
different experience, but for me the following worked.
I installed following:
The following is a list of the files:
curl-7.10.7-0.pm.1.i586.rpm
kaffeine-0.4-0.pm.1.i686.rpm
libdvdcss2-devel-1.2.8-0.pm.2.i686.rpm
libdvdnav-0.1.9-0.pm.1.i586.rpm
libdvdread-0.9.4-2.pm.1.i586.rpm
libfame-0.9.0-4.pm.1.i686.rpm
libogg-1.1-0.pm.0.i686.rpm
libogg-devel-1.1-0.pm.0.i686.rpm
libtheora-0.0cvs20031122-0.pm.0.i586.rpm
libxine1-1 rc3a-0.pm.0.i686.rpm
libxine1-aa-1 rc3a-0.pm.0.i686.rpm
libxine1-alsa09-1 rc3a-0.pm.0.i686.rpm
libxine1-arts-1 rc3a-0.pm.0.i686.rpm
libxine1-devel-1 rc3a-0.pm.0.i686.rpm
libxine1-directfb-1 rc3a-0.pm.0.i686.rpm
libxine1-dvb-1 rc3a-0.pm.0.i686.rpm
libxine1-dvd1 rc3a-0.pm.0.i686.rpm
libxine1-dxr3-1 rc3a-0.pm.0.i686.rpm
libxine1-esd-1 rc3a-0.pm.0.i686.rpm
libxine1-flac-1 rc3a-0.pm.0.i686.rpm
libxine1-gnome-vfs-1 rc3a-0.pm.0.i686.rpm
libxine1-ogg-1 rc3a-0.pm.0.i686.rpm
libxine1-sdl-1 rc3a-0.pm.0.i686.rpm
libxine1-w32dll-1 rc3a-0.pm.0.i686.rpm
libxine1-xvmc-1 rc3a-0.pm.0.i686.rpm
xine-ui-0.9.23-0.pm.0.i586.rpm
In addition i had to download following and create rpm:
libdvdcss-1.2.8.tar.bz2
libdvdcss2-1.2.8-0.pm.2.nosrc.rpm
>From those i created: libdvdcss2-1.2.8-0.pm.2.i686.rpm
and installed this one normal way.
I had to uninstall the original kaffeine and install the downloaded one.
With this I can play any DVD and any other video coded formats without any
problems. Actually, they play bether than if you use DVD players you can
use with windows. Additionally, you don't have to worry about zone lock on
your dvd player.
And it all works like a dream.
By the way, I'm using an old HP Laptop.
Brgds.
