i have just install mandrake 8.2 powerpack. i have xine player, i opened it , put in dvd, clicked on dvd, tryed to start the xine player, get a error message about some plugin needed. isn,t all the software needed to start watching my dvds or do i need to do something eles. thanks ronss
thanks. i don,t get it, why xine is not a configured piece of software. intervideo also have win dvd, but will not offer it to the public, only oem manufaucturers . later ronss
because the law is VERY amibguous abuot dvd decryption, and as such unlicensed dvd software (i.e. all GPL software and more) will gnerally steer clear from *officially* associating itself will dvd decryption, but are ususally pretty happy using a third party plugin.
