i'm running rh8.0

i have a usb2 dvd-r/ram which i haven't gotten to work yet. i would be very motivated to get it to work if there was a good dvd player. a quick search turns up stuff like "ogle," "livid" , openDVD and mplayer.

have any of you experienced any of these and have good (or bad) stories about them, or any others?

thanks 🙂

mplayer is decent but can get the audio out of sync, it can be compensated for by adjusting the delay manually but that's annoying. I use mplayer for virtually all regular move files though (divx. mpg, etc).

ogle will resync the audio automatically although it lacks the ability to seek, you can change chapters though. I use this for watching dvds most of the time.
 
Xine is a really nice media player. You could use xine with the dvdnav plugin, for dvds will full menu support. works great on every dvd i've used it with. I've been using xine cvs head lately and it seems that you dont need dvdnav for it, works out of the box as long as you have libdvdcss...I've used mplayer but I dont think you can use menus with it (?). So, my vote is xine + dvdnav + libdvdcss
 
thanks for your responses 🙂

now i just need to get this usb card and the drive to work... 😱
