Does anybody know why Novell won't add any kind of DVD support in even 
the commercial product? I mean, if I go out and pay money for the 
software, why can't it play DVDs. I understand why this is so for 
OpenSUSE, since it is free and all, but recompiling xine to have DVD 
support is becoming a real pain. I also like to use kaffeine, too, but 
even if xine likes DVDs, the kaffeine that came with SUSE 10 still won't 
play them! I heard that Novell might put all of the commercial stuff on 
a separate CD for 10.1, so why couldn't some DVD playing application be 
on it? I know that the license for DVDs gets in the way, but come on.
