Yes. > 2) If so, which players are options? Whatever is available for Linux. I've tried mplayer and xine, and ended up configuring MythDVD to use xine because mplayer knows nothing about DVD menus. > 3) Of those, which is best based on (in this order) Performance, Stability, > Usability, Capability? mplayer and xine appear to be evenly matched as far as performance and stability go. The main differentiating factor I see between them is that menus work in xine, but not in mplayer. > 4) Is there a general issue with playing dual-sided DVDs? There shouldn't be, if your hardware works properly. (Double-sided and single-sided DVDs shouldn't look any different to the DVD-ROM drive when they're loaded up anyway. Dual-layer DVDs are theoretically more difficult to read, but in practice, if your drive has trouble reading them, it's broken.) _/_ / v \ Scott Alfter (remove the obvious to send mail) (IIGS( http://alfter.us/ Top-posting! \_^_/ rm -rf /bin/laden >What's the most annoying thing on Usenet?
