Yes, I forgot to mention, mplayer does not play menus (forget about xine), but that's a feature that command line fanatics (such as the mplayer developers, or myself) like. Go directly to the movie. If I remember correctly oggle did play the menus, and kaffeine (which I forgot to mention in my previous post) does that too. And so does vlc.
