mplayer dotpups to deal with DVD region problem
Hi, just tried to play a DVD in gxine and it will play the very first track from the Universal Film woman to the menu--but I can't manipulate the menu and the keybindings don't seem to work well; so I can't play the film. Any help for this absolute newbie (besides counseling patience...)
I never figured that out... this is one reason, why I made a mplayer-dotpup:

There you can switch to different chapters with a rightclick.

Perhaps this is a bit off the topic, but playing encrypted DVD and VCD in Linux is made possible with the libdvdcss library from the videolan site.

What does it mean? Turns your computer into a region-free DVD player. Sorry, I haven't installed it in Puppy, but thought it might help someone.

Thanks!
I installed the mplayer from the link and it seems to be working fine. What is amazing is that I haven't dealt with computers in this way for years (probably since my old Sinclair) and I figured out quickly how to install and how to find it in the file architecture. I know I'm lame (just a geek) but the learning curve is great!
