Well, I'll tell you *my* problem with xine, and that is that it won't let me redefine mount points for dvd's. On my system, the dvd mounts as /mnt/cdrom. Now if I can declare two different mount points for the same device, I'll do that, or maybe I'll just change the mount name (and hopefully I won't lose the default behavior of the device, which is to mount automatically any disk that gets loaded in the drive, whatever kind of disk it is--DVD or CD, makes no difference). But mplayer let me change the mount point for dvd's from /mnt/dvd (the default, I guess) to /mnt/cdrom, which is how I have it set up. BTW, I didn't choose these mount points. Anaconda did when it set up the system to begin with. I assumed that there was a reason for setting them up that way--or maybe there isn't. Temlakos
