The dvd://1 instruction means to play the main title on the disc (1) being the default. And -dvd-device specifying the device (/dev/dvd being the default). I don't know if the error about dvd://1 is down to it not finding your DVD drive, or whether you don't have the files installed to play DVDs. I think you should post us the output from running: ls -al /dev -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.1-33.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5. Today, it's FC7.
