xmovie, see www.freshmeat.net claims to be able to play DVDs. the source is available but only the binaries have the encryption code in it. i dont know if it uses decss(?) or not, if its not available lemme know i can send it to u. available in glibc2.1 only i believe. it crashed on both my debian 2.1 systems but ran ok on my mandrake system(dont have a dvd to test but the program loaded) i emailed the author about a binary for glibc2.0 but he hasnt replied yet(~3 weeks ago) btw this is a software-only decoder i believe, you need a powerful(really powerful) machine to run it on, say 450-500mhz or better. it is multithreaded so dual cpus really scream according to the www page. he tested it on a dual celeron 500 i think(i run dual celeron 466) nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 8:52am up 173 days, 21:06, 1 user, load average: 1.00, 1.02, 1.04
