Linux DVD Players Reviewed

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-want-my-dvd dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "Linux Journal have posted a review of DVD players on their site. Interesting review, that covers most of the main players, although there are a few minor errors." I've settled on Xine since it does most of the divx, wmv, and mpegs I want to see. If it just did Sorenson QT, it'd be perfect.

    Dumbass-

    TVs look better for DVDs. The reason being, "pixels" on a TV are shaped differently than the pixels on your monitor. Since DVDs are made using the TV resolution, when you watch them on a monitor, the DVD player software has to resize the image to make it look right. This makes it fuzzy. There's no way around it.

    The right tool for the job and all that...
