I managed to get vlc working (http://www.videolan.org) and actually
watched a few minutes of DVD with it. It's not a particularly
good player (no working subtitle support, no input buffer) so it
tends to skip a bit on my PII-400. Faster machines may be able to
maintain full speed. Interestingly enough vlc only uses about 60-80%
of my CPU when playing, but still cannot maintain full speed (due to
the lack of input buffer).
Your only other option under FreeBSD is to try xine+captain_css
(google is your friend), but I've never actually managed to get that
configuration working. I almost played the first frame of a DVD once
though.
