It seems that mplayer's installation was successful on my Debian Sarge, I can also launch it with:
$ gmplayer , but when I try to play a dvd, a window opens up saying: Failed to open dvd://1. , and on the terminal there is: Playing dvd://1. libdvdread: Couldn't find device name. Reading disc structure, please wait... libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO. Can't open VMG info! File not found: '1' Failed to open dvd://1. . Can anybody provide any help!, thanks in advance. Rodolfo P.S.: Below are the steps I did to play dvd's with totem, thanks to Vitaliy and Wackojacko for their replies. -------------------------------------------------------------- That's what I did in order to play dvd's with totem: from: ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/pool/main/libd/libdvdcss/ I downloaded the package libdvdcss2_1.2.9-0.0_i386.deb and put it in ~/tmp. Then: $ cd ~/tmp # apt-get install liba52-0.7.4 libdvbpsi3 libdvdnav4 libdvdread3 libglib1.2 libgtk1.2 libgtk1.2-common libmpeg2-4 libpng10-0 libtar libwxgtk2.4 libxosd2 ttf-freefont vlc wxvlc # dpkg -i libdvdcss2_1.2.9-0.0_i386.deb $ totem , then in `edit > preferences' I chose the desired device and so I could play dvd movies with totem. However, I'm not satisfied with the quality: on my desktop machine the movie walks by jerks, whereas on the same machine it is properly played with xine under Mandrake 10.1. I'll try with mplayer.
