ogle fails due to some permissions problem:
ERROR[ogle_nav]: faild to open/read the DVD
DVDSetDVDRoot:: Root not set
p3 15:23 <tao2> [1683]
With kmplayer, altho it works with virtually everything,
it is a bi t"clunky". Also, it will not show the menu part
of my DVD. So far, vlc wins (in my lineup). But it's not
intuitive at all. A cheet-sheet of the 50 top places to click
would be a plus.
