Linux DVD player?

KayinStorm · 04-October-03, 12:30 AM

Is there a program to play DVDs on Linux? I just switched to RH 9 from XP, and i want to play all my anime...

I know you guys have Linux, so hook a new guy up...

Naw, but I only use Mandrake. Don't know what RedHat comes supplied with.

last i heard there wasnt one

from what i can remember is that they are out there but the mpaa keeps having them removed because of the encoding information that the source code entails

this could have changed since i lasted went looking

yea i believe the mpaa has deemed it illegal for the dvd players to be in linux, but if u do enough searching you'll always find some rouge site that has the code

Check for one called DeCSS. After you wade through all the bullpuckey that removes CSS code from html pages, you'll find a dvd decoder named the same thing. Not sure where to look though, it was declared a bad thing a couple years back...
