Big distro's (like SuSe) don't compile in Xvid and maybe also dvd-support it their rpm's, try to built mplayer from source. You will get your dvd's working.
Oh, you must also have libdvdcss or something like it. hope I helped you. Geert. |
Right now, i know that i have to do some configuring for mplayer of a few files, but i don't know how to confugure things. im still haveing problems just trying to get the skins to work. heres what i get so far when i run gmplayer:

u need to download skins and put them in the skin dir first!
compile it from source, dont use the rpms - i think its easier to do it like that |

Here...
http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/rel....0pre3.tar.bz2 unzip the file with bunzip2 (ie: bunzip2 MPlayer-1.0pre3.tar.bz2) uncompress the tar file (ie: tar -xf MPlayer-1.0pre3.tar.bz2) Then as root type ./configure (wait until finished) make (wait until finished) make install (done) then at a command line type "mplayer dvd://1" and you're movie will start playing good luck |
