 i've always had much better luck with vlc, formerly video lan client.

Subject: Newbie Question about DVD playback on Fedora 7 

Hello All, 

I am trying to watch DVDs on a laptop running Fedora 7. I started by 
installing the livna repo, 

   sudo rpm -Uhv http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-7.rpm

then some libraries for DVD playback, 

   sudo yum -y install libdvdcss libdvdread libdvdplay libdvdnav lsdvd 
libdvbpsi 

and finally totem: 

   sudo - yum remove totem totem-plparser -y; yum install totem-xine 
totem-xine-plparser rhythmbox xine-lib-extras-nonfree -y 

I also installed the win32 codecs: 

  wget 
www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/mplayer-codecs-20061022-1.i386 
.rpm 
  sudo rpm -ivh mplayer-codecs-20061022-1.i386.rpm 
  wget 
www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/mplayer-codecs-extra-20061022- 
1.i386.rpm 
  sudo rpm -ivh mplayer-codecs-extra-20061022-1.i386.rpm 

Usually, I can make it part way through a DVD (in this case, "The 
Inspector Lynley Mysteries") before totem stops playing the DVD and 
starts complaining that I'm trying to watch an encrypted DVD without 
libdvdcss. I've also installed mplayer and xine, and I get the same 
problems. 

Does anyone have any suggestions? 

Thanks for all your help. 

Max
