It appear that there is no support for playing DVDs in 9.1. Is there a site that I can add to Yast's installation sources that will allow me to update Xine with the proper support for DVDs? Or, is there a similar site that will allow me to install MPlayer for SuSE 9.1? Thank you.
Has anyone any idea as where to find a driver or support for a Creative webcam NX? I'm running Suse Linux 9.2 prof and to my surprise, given the price I had to pay for it, there's no support for webcam and further to that no support for dvd. Any help ........I'm desperate to chuck that bloody windows xp out of the window it came from. thank you all
Do a search here.Plenty of info on Mplayer,etc.DVD playback is great
once you get setup right.

uh, I supose you mean there is no support for you to WATCH a movie dvd? That is because of some issuses w/ DVD and the Riaa and various other stuff that could cause Suse company a lot of grief... you can however go to links2linux.org and download all the missing things that would allow you to play the movies you want to see. It isn't a Suse site but does cover Suse specific rpms. I am not certain if they have all the stuff completed for 9.2 it did get released a bit before many were expecting. in which case you will have to use your computer to work for a week or three while the boys and gals get busy w/ the changes to current files ... As for your webcam maybe you should as Creative why they do not supply a driver for it? Or at least make it's working available so Opensource drivers can be written for it. After all how is Suse suposed to know the insides of every bit of hardware available??? And your speil that somehow Suse is required is a bit wrong. If it , or any hardware, doesn't work in windows you don't ask MS to fix it you go to the manufacturer, no? I am curious about "the price you had to pay for it"?? At full whack it is still a lot less than any windows OS out there... so perhaps you could explain that part please? There also are student and upgrade versions that take it down roughly half of full price. -- j -- nemo me impune lacessit

For Xine with CSS-unscrambling you may also look here: http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/xine/ It's just al legal question. MS has paid the huge licence-fee, and SuSE did not because (I presume) it's too expensive. So officially it may be illegal to watch your DVD's at your pc with Linux.

Watching DVDs is *not* illegal as such, just as being a passenger in a automobile which is speeding is not illegal. Software allowing the defeat of encryption methods to protect proprietary property is illegal, aiui, but I am not sure whether it is the software itself or the use of the software. disclaimer: IANAL -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
