newbie problem: playing DVDs in MPlayer
Hello!
Two days ago I installed FC 2 (and deletec Win2000 for good). In general, I am very satisfied - everything went much smoother than expected. I could even work out the general newbie problems like mounting a FAT32 partition etc.
Well, but MPlayer doesn't really work like it should. I installed all the necessary plugins and can start playing a DVD movie via command line ("gmplayer dvd://1 ..."). This works great. But I'd like to do this via the GUI with a few mouseclicks but can't find a way to achieve this. This problem should be easy to solve. So what do I have to do? The "open..." dialogue doesn't seem to do what I have in mind.

Thanks for your help. But actually I want to stick to MPlayer because it can play dozens of video formats.... If no one can help (which I doubt) then I might consider trying Ogle.

What do you mean?
Run gmplayer(oyu can create a laucher), right-click and Open -> Play DVD

Maybe I was blind. I will check this again....
I was talking about the open file dialogue.
Thanks for your reply!

After trying a lot with mplayer, xine and gstreamer eventually I found Ogle the most effective dvd player. It has the simpler GUI and minimum hardware requirements.

Thank you all very much! Indeed I didn't see the play DVD option in the context menu... Now it works. I will also take a look at Ogle, even though I am very satisfied with MPlayer.
