Question DVD player question


I am wondering if anyone can give me some advise about dvd players for redhat 9.0?
Which is the easyest to install/run?
Which is the best?
How do I install/ What dependencies do I need?

I have almost completed my conversion from winxp to redhat.
This dvd is the final piece.
You must understand that this is very humiliating for me.
For the past 4 years I have ben making a living using M$. I have recently ben working with UniX at work.
UniX has put the Fun back into computing for me and I hope linux gives me that same feeling.

im a mandrake user, but i still strongly recommend xine. its powerful, free, and its better then some commercial players. to get it and the dvd support, go to this address:
http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/xine/
and download libxine, xineui, curl7, libdvdcss, and libdvdcss-devel. note you must have the libdvdcss-devel package installed as well as libdvdcss.
