i've got better experiences with ogle (more stable). speed is about 95% 
of windvd on (you guess it) windows. just install the rpms from here 
(those for rh7.x work just fine on my mdk8.1 box):

you'll need:
libdvdcss
libdvdread
liba52
Ogle
Ogle_gui

have fun!

I'm not much on 'me too's' but I'd have to agree here.   I've tried a 
half-dozen DVD players, and Ogle is the one that stuck

Hi

xine is pretty good you can get it at http://xine.sourceforge.net

the lastest version is 0.9.6.

You will need a bit of work. You need to compile the sources first
xine-lib then xine.ui . Follow the instructions. The files will be
located in /usr/local/bin which is not in the PATH (at least on mine
Linux), you will need to had it (to be able to run configure in xine.ui)
and create a link for the application.
