What am I missing (and why it is not loaded as standard, playing a DVD
seems to me a standard operation also for a non-geek-user??)
To play a DVD with totem - you need
gstreamer-plugins-ugly
use the rpm.livna.org repository or gstreamer.org repository.
You also need libdvdcss
It still won't play them from the menu though. Try:
totem DVD://
That works for me - though the video/audio is choppy and not in sync.
Back in FC3 - totem w/ gstreamer worked decently - but due to changes in gstreamer and totem, it is kind of broken right now.
You can use ogle (I think it is in livna) or mplayer.
I tried ogle and mplayer. They work, after a fashion, but not with every
DVD title out there.
I use vlan. It plays everything I can get from a studio.
But--it will /not/ play the DVD's that I burn on another machine. (Roxio
Easy DVD Builder on Windows XP SP2.) Perhaps the MPEG-2 encoding is at
issue.
I have searched (through Google and elsewhere) for decent open-source
DVD authoring tools. I have found none.
Basically, I'm happy if my home-burnt DVD's can play on consumer-aimed
home DVD players. And yes, they can. They just won't play on my Fedora
boxes.
