Now i tried w_scan with xine and the file it created made

Did you remember to use the -X switch with w_scan to make it produce a xine-compatible channels.conf file? Tested here and works fine.
Incidentally, following Basil's email re vlc, I simply started vlc from a terminal with .xine/channels.conf (the file previously generated by w_scan) as the parameter and vlc read the xine-format channels.conf file and worked fine (but performance seemed slightly worse than kaffeine on the same channels).
You need to tweak vlc a bit - especially when it comes to using interlace or de-interlace for video. Also, and which I am still working on, is the sound when I watch a DVD and using the headphone. With xine you can configure it rather quickly in real time to give you either 5.1 sound or headphones sound - vlc is not as easy although I think I achieved this feat last night :-) . All I now need to do is to remember what I did - and make it "stick" :-) . (I *think* it had something to do with the Equaliser.)
