I wanted to watch my new Firefly boxed set, so I tried both xine and 
mplayer, and neither displayed the opening menu, just the initial animation 
before the menu. I was able to play the disk with VLC on Win2k, though. I 
haven't had a chance to go back and try VLC on FC4 to see if it's any 
better.
