Just check in the INPUT tab, you can set it there. And I most probably suggest you also install the following as well. libdvnav libdvplay libdvread libdvbpsi I have all these installed (These were automatically installed when I used APT to install Xine) and I can play ALL my DVD's ok. Approx. 95% of them are encrypted. Wolf -- Open WebMail Project (http://openwebmail.org)
