Xine - What is needed to view DVD's?

[Neil Marjoram]

I have had a problem with Xine complaining about the DVD:// MRL, turns 
out it was looking at the wrong DVD drive. I have noticed that alot of 
apps need a little config with the location of the cd/dvd drives, 
particuarly if you have 2 of them as I do. Also watch out for the new 
mount points /media/cdrom /media/cdwriter etc.

I have also reloaded xine from xine web site :
xine-ui-0.99.3cvs-041223
libxine1-1_cvs-041223

This build works alot better.

but also have all of these loaded for dvd tools :

libdvdcss-1.2.8-4.1.fc3.rf
libdvdnav-0.1.10-2.1.fc3.rf
libdvdplay-devel-1.0.1-4.1.fc3.rf
dvdauthor-0.6.10-1.1.fc3.rf
libdvdplay-1.0.1-4.1.fc3.rf
libdvdcss-devel-1.2.8-4.1.fc3.rf
streamdvd-0.4-1.1.fc3.rf
libdvdread-devel-0.9.4-5.1.fc3.rf
lxdvdrip-1.40-1.1.fc3.rf
dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8-2
libdvdnav-devel-0.1.10-2.1.fc3.rf
libdvdread-0.9.4-5.1.fc3.rf
gstreamer-plugins-extra-dvd-0.8.6-0.1.fc3.fr
dvdbackup-0.1.1-1.1.fc3.rf

I use the apt-get from the /dag.wieers.com/ web site to get this lot,
