playing dvd movies under 8.1

Hi, all -- I've been casually looking at the "play DVDs under Linux" struggle for years now but haven't stayed much up to date. Can I yet watch DVD movies on my laptop equipped with a DVD-ROM(/CD-RW) drive? If so, there is probably an RPM for it in my 8.1 package :-) though perhaps not because of silly US legislation :-( At any rate, please let me know where I need to go and what I need to get to do so.
