Slashdot had some DvD software mentioned last week.
Thanks to Ian telling me I checked out one called Videolan www.videolan.org
This one is also a little jerky but almost perfect. It to suffers from the
dreaded
CD-ROM Drive Locking after words. The story is at this URL.

I am happy with Videolan because the Sound is incredible sounds like true
Dolby encoded.
My laptop almost plays this perfectly. I think the problem is in the
caching or frame rate that causes
the glitches. But hey Playing on a Compaq Persario 192 Meg Ram 450 AMD K6 2
8 meg trident cyblade
12x Dvd and JBL sound I am not complaining to much. Perhaps if the software
gets more developed
it will fix that. Also maybe if I adjust the Uldma settings this may fix it
as well. I am guessing at that.
Or perhaps it is a common Problem with Mandrake as I am running that too
Version 8.
Maybe on S.u.S.E. it would run better. I will have to play with that. Or
maybe Debian.
Any ways Videolan so far works for me Xine I could not get to work hardly at
all. No sound and the
Video was off center. Videolan also detected the Wide Screen I had of The
Mummy and Blade Runner.
Maybe someone in our group can figure out how to make the frame rates
smoother and the Drive from Locking?
