[olug] dvd playing on OpenSuSe 10.2

[T M]

>  Anyone have words of wisdom on how to get DVDs playing on OpenSuSe
> 10.2?

i download mplayer files from the mplayer website and follow their
instructions, which is to say i never install the suse version of
mplayer.

for a dvd copied to hard disk

dd if=/dev/hdc of=The_Endless_Summer.iso

mplayer -v -aid 128 -dvd-device The_Endless_Summer.iso dvd://1

mplayer -v -aid 128 -dvd-device AnselAdams.dvd.iso dvd://3

with the final digit determined by trial and error

or to play it straight from the disc:

mplayer -v -aid 128 -dvd-device /dev/hdc dvd://1
