Hi All,
New to the list. I have a 866mhz, with 256mb of ram running suse 9.1. I really like it and have had no problems at all, except, does linux have a program for playing dvd's? When I put a dvd into my dvd player, it comes up with kaffeine, and the program says that becaue of legalities it cannot play dvd's? Any suggestions as to what program if any I should get?
thanks, Bob
You need to get down the xine programs from http://packman.links2linux.org/?action=124 that you require. Read the descriptions against each package to determine your requirements. You will also need libdvdcss. You can get a compiled version from here. http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/xine/ This site also provides RPM packages for xine but you will have a better luck with the packages from the packman site. On the packman site you can also download mplayer which will also play DVD's. http://packman.links2linux.org/?action=128 I find xine with kaffeine is easier to use than mplayer but that's my impression. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
