DVD Playing [was: pismo Qs/short rant]

[Greg Hamilton]

I used yum to install Xine and I believe it picked up all the 
dependencies. libdvdcss is definitely installed. DVDs play correctly up 
to the normal menu screen. However, I'm not having any luck selecting 
the 'Play Movie' or equivalent function on any of the admittedly very 
few discs I've tried so far.

I'm sure I just need to do a little more experimenting.
