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.
