I use both players as I like them both very much. If you want menus on your dvd's go with xine. If you don't care Mplayer plays dvd's with dvd://1. If you can't play the wmv files, go to http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/xine/ and download the w32codecs rpm and install it. It should fix your problem. If you would like to try Mplayer, go right ahead it is great also. Regards, Antonio __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
