Xine works super for me (as opposed to ogle that has a sound
synchronization problem); in fact it is the only video player I really
use.  This (working great that is) includes DVD navigation and stuff.

Details: xine-lib 1-beta12 (which includes dvdnav, so no extra NAV
button is present/needed), xine-ui 0.9.20, libdvdread-0.9.4,
libdvdplay 1.0.1, libdvdcss 1.2.6, all compiled from sources (GCC
2.95.4).  Everything runs (as I was saying, very well) on my rev.3
Tibook (Linux 2.4.20-ben10, glibc 2.2.5).
