Hello. Personally, as much as I like the technical side of playing DVDs on the PC, I find a set top box to be far simpler when I have a perfectly good TV in the house, and I can vedge on the sofa while I watch my movies. This one is packed with all kinds of interesting features, including the ability to add a hard drive (my next project). http://www.area450.com/thesampozone/players/dve631cf.htm Bye for now, Stuart. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Pierce [mailto:eric_suse@yahoo.com] Sent: Sunday, July 21, 2002 10:29 To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: [SLE] DVD player recommendations... Howdy all, My wife and I just picked up our first DVD, and I was wondering what everybody recommends for DVD viewing under SuSE. I'm running 8.0 Pro, but I heard that Xine is only on the personal edition. Can I get that of ftp? Anyway, I'd like to hear what everyone likes to use. My wife is fighting unsuccessfully as I type this to get it working under WinXP (which she clings to like a bad junk habit), and I would love to have our first DVD viewing under a real OS. Thanks a lot for any comments/advice! Eric
