Linux DVD Players Reviewed
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.
There once was a coder named Linus
Who let RMS touch his penis
They'd jerk and they'd play
And Linus would say,
'We're outside, someone could have seen us'
Slashdotted already :-/
Dear troll,
Since all of these players do not use any DVD/CSS specification, the movies are not played on their terms.
It seems unfair to moderate the parent post as Redundant. He has a fair point.
So maybe the same point comes up every time anything Hollywood related comes up but that is because it is still relevant.
Meta-moderators do your thing.

The reviewer must be on crack!!!
Then stop using a UNIX-like OS and start using a real UNIX OS like...uh...I don't know...like...Mac OS X. There is nothing like the real thing baby!
Seriously, if you want to watch DVDs on a computer that doesn't run Windows, Mac OS X 's built in DVD player stomps on any thing available for Linux. The best part, it just works. No configuration files to modify, no compilation settings to tweak, etc. Just pop in the DVD and watch the movie.
But then again, isn't tweaking settings more entertaining than watching a movie?
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
Like today's big Lawrence Lessig article in Business Week ...
Too fucking funny. I submitted that very same article into the submission queue yesterday, early afternoon, and ... yep, still pending ... too funny. Watch someone grab *your* reference and get the story on the front page. ROTFLMAO
