There are howtos on the web explaining this - specific to suse. search on video/multimedia on suse. Suse doesn't ship with copyright-breaking codecs or players, so you have to get them from third party providers. I use 'smart' for package management and you just have to enable 'packman' and 'guru' repositories and replace all your video players with versions from them (unless you build from source, anyway). Then go out and separately get libdvdcss from another site. Gavin. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
