Personally, I've had a better experience using xine for DVDs than using mplayer. I *like* having working navigation, since it's much easier to find things than guessing what "title" and "chapter" numbers you want. I believe the command line you gave will more-or-less work with xine, as well. I know that "xine dvd://" works. The menus are all pretty much optional, IIRC. -- Michael A.
