I use totem-gstreamer. I like using the defaults. I think it would be a bummer to release Feisty without DVD playback capability (after the user manually installs libdvdcss2 that is).
VLC has its own problems (the wxGTK UI has bugs under Ubuntu -- the volume meter is not displaying) and mplayer sucks (that app is always on a whack). I hope someone takes on the task because it might put off quite a few new users who don't know what else to use. -- major DVD playback bug with Totem https://launchpad.net/bugs/92738 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
