[TriLUG] DVD software advice

[Daniel Zhang]

xine works on my rh9 and fedora core 1 Linux machines playing DVD.  
Mplayer should work for rh9 and Fedora 1.  You can do fast/slow motion 
but  I don't know if you can control the frame  by numbers.  There is 
another one called Ogle which I didn't try before.

There are not many free and decent video players for Linux right now. I 
had problems to find a driver working for my Dell laptop wireless card.  
The driver thing, in my opinion , is the biggest obstacle for common 
Linux users.
