I can't get DVD movies to play. The video card is an nVidia with their drivers installed. The processor is a Celeron 1.7MHz with 256MB of RAM. Here are the things I have tried along with the results I see happen: I've installed xine* and ogle* with yum install xine* ogle*. I've also installed libdvd* using yum install libdvd*. I've installed mplayer* using yum install mplayer*. < rest snipped > The problems look like the one that I had before building libdecss and libdvdnav. I got the sources from links at the ogle home site. It was then a simple matter of unzipping the sources into a directory in my home directory. Then running ./configure && make. On completion sudo make install. I noticed that the libs needed to be in the lib path, which required editing /etc/ld.so.conf and putting in the line /usr/local/lib In the end, it is necessary to do an sudo /sbin/ldconfig After that, you should be able to view DVDs. Just a word of note: libdecss is illegal in the USA, where the DMCA puts the wishes of large corporations ahead of the valid rights of people to view their legally purchased DVDs on computers running operating systems other than Windows and MacOS.
