mplayer (http://www.mplayerhq.hu) plays DVDs (needs libdvdread, and libdvdcss from videolan) and damn near anything else, if you've got the libs. On my box, it's not as good / fast as vlc (and I may have to try ogle again given others' responses). And it only sort of has a GUI. (It looks pretty, you can open a file and hit play / seek. :) However, they've just added an encoder to it, which seems to work well. Right now it's just DivX4, but that's what you probably wanted anyway. :) Eventually it'll have more feechurz; it seems to be in fairly heavy development. HTH, Mike McGuire
