For one thing, if it ever shows the DVD menu, it only flashes up for a brief moment. You've got to faff around with picking the right title/chapter to play from the mplayer menu. I've found Xine to be better, and VLC almost as good (VLC seems more taxing on my system). But both of them play DVDs properly. -- (Currently running FC4, in case that's important to the thread) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
