Arrow how do I get dvd-rom to play dvds

I need to figure out what I need to download and install so I can get the dvd-rom to play dvds. I am trying to figure this out for a college final project. So any help would be great. Thanks

Use either mplayer, xine, and Video Lan Client. The libraries that they use is DeCSS, dvdread, mpeg-1 and mpeg-2 decoder.

suse 9.1 personal WILL play dvd's with updates from mirror.pacific.net.au and packman.iu-bremern.de as sources. Do automatic update, ant then install software, using Kaffeine as the search. DON'T forget to shut down, switch off and restart machine to get operational. You will have Kaffeine 0.5xx and it WILL work.
