Glad to hear its working. I've checked, I can play dvds with totem (still haven't got the hang of VLC!), but no menus.

I actually managed to get it working. I <br>> added the medibuntu repository and installed libdvdcss3 and VLC and <br>> mplayer were more than happy to play DVDs then. Although, the hue <br>> setting was completely out of whack. I had to set the hue to 360 in VLC <br>> and bring it down in mplayer by pressing and holding '5'.<br>> <br>> - mc<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Chester mailing list<br>> Chester@mailman.lug.org.uk<br>> https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/chester<br><br /><hr />Miss your Messenger buddies when on-the-go? <a href='http://messengergonemobile.com' target='_new'>Get Messenger on your mobile!</a></body>
