Well, you're free to have a look at ogle code and improve it. One big problem is that to improve this, you need financial resources, or at least a copy of the DVDs involved... I remember the guys at chalmers were asking for DVDs with problems to try out.

Ogle is still my default DVD player. I find it strange that a 10 year old firmware dvd player can play the occasional really weird disc who's menu simply refuses to work on PC dvd player software. I think xine and ogle coped best with the weird discs but didn't really work like they should. OTOH I don't need an engineering code or disc conversion to play foreign region discs on PC and firmware dvd players ecc often suck with DVD-Rs.

Sorry for that, guys. This convinced me, less dependencies is what I like, I will try it out too.

Plus, the intuitive interface and bookmarkings (especially the goggles frontend). It has a few (very few) limitations: it cannot be used to encode dvds, nor does it support Closed-Caption subtitles. Contrary to (say) mplayer, it also has a decent decoding model that use separate processes for various things. Thus, it can play dvds on multi-core machines that would be unable to do so otherwise (yes, I realize those are a bit old these days). Also, it does not depend on the kitchen sink: echo$ SUBDIR=x11/ogle make all-dir-depends|tsort|wc -l 22 echo$ SUBDIR=x11/vlc make all-dir-depends|tsort|wc -l 151 echo$ SUBDIR=x11/mplayer make all-dir-depends|tsort|wc -l 68 Obsolete you say ? by no mean !

old unused ports: x11/ogle and related
Ogle and related ports x11/ogle x11/ogle-gui x11/goggles The main homepages: http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd/ http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~dvd/ etc. give a version of 404. Upstream looks to be down permanently. No release in past 7 years? Many would be happy with vlc, mplayer etc goggles is now a music manager @ version 0.12.2 http://code.google.com/p/gogglesmm/ and can be resurrected if anybody has any interest later.
