For Xine to function properly you will also need to install the following:- xine-lib-devel* (Which ever matches your installed version) libdvdnav (DVD Navigator) libdvdcss libdvdplay libdvdread There are a few others, but I can't think of them right now, but this should get you going. I've used Xine for quite a few years now, and it does play pretty much all the video formats out there now. And it's quite easy to use. Wolf -- Open WebMail Project (http://openwebmail.org)
