The xine on this site worked for me. (of course you need the libdvdread, libdvdnav, libdvdplay, etc)

quess what is really holding me back on installing dvd player is my un-experience in dealing with tarballs. i am studing the linux rute quide, its helping. i,ll get it is down, just taking some time.

thanks for info about red hat. going to experiment with suse 8.2 a bit more, got 4 rigs. could put red hat on one of em i quess. that will make suse 8.2-libranet 2.81-red hat 9- and, hate to say it here-windows xp. some here don,t like windows too much

look at these two sites for everything you ever wanted to know

i don't mind windows existing. i just dont' want it existing
where i have to use it or answer questions about it.

i've got ogle, vlc, xine, mplayer all working here for
dvd playing. xine and vlc crash the most. ogle handles
the menus well.
i have the mplayer cvs on here, and update and compile
every couple of months. from cvs, you have to download
ffmpeg seperately.
sometimes i'm playing vob files from a dvd and mplayer
handles the first one fine, then with the rest, there is
no sound or the wrong language. i've been using
xine for those, and it works fine.

i use Mplayer myself, havn't had too much trouble with it
