Hello there I have looked all over and cannot find how to get DVD playback in a 64 bit OS.

I am using SuSE 9.2 x86_64 and am having trouble trying to find the files that I need to get DVD working.

I know that I can use yast or do it from source... I just need someone to point me to the files that I need for sure. I want to use totem to play DVD's and maybe Kaffine as well. So where can I get the 64 bit versions of all the libs and xine stuff that I need to do that.

And how should I install them... I have already removed all the files that came with the install of SuSE by putting xine in the search of yast and removing everything that it came up with...

Also I have been wondering if I need to get a 64 bit version of the codecs as well or if they are even available?

Please someone who has the same setup I have take the time and tell me where to find this at....

Thanks,

PS-> I am a noob so please if I have to install from source explain how to do that!

First get them codecs from : http://packman.links2linux.org/ (libdvdnav, libdvdread, win32 ...ect.)
Second remove ALL traces of "Xine" from the hard drive. Totem is just a front end to Xine. Don't forget .xine folder from your home.
Third download libdvdcss source. http://download.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/1.2.8/
Compile it.
Fourth download xine-lib from :http://xinehq.de/index.php/releases
Compile it. You may have to remove and then compile totem(not sure).

How to compile:
Extract the tarball
open terminal
cd into directory where you have the uncompressed folder cd /home/you/xine-lib
type ./configure
type make
type su then your root password
type make install
type /sbin/ldconfig to update library links

Keep your fingers crossed and hope for no errors
