There were some prerequesits needed - the complete list of rpms that I used are shown below: alsa-lib-0.9.8-2.i386.rpm libdvdcss-1.2.8-1.fr.i386.rpm libdvdread-0.9.4-ogle1.i386.rpm ogle-0.9.2-ogle1alsa.i586.rpm ogle_gui-0.9.2-ogle1.i386.rpm I expect RH8 will be very similar. Seems to play my Monty Python DVD fine! |

| 209889 | 2004-01-26 08:42:00 | You should be able to add --enable-gui to your ./configure if you're not downloading the rpm's (Compiling will give you mencoder which is highly worth it!) Isnt a VCD simply an mpeg file renamed? VLC (VideoLAN Client) is another good player to look into. Ogle is great for DVD's etc, but I'd HIGHLY recommend you get ogle-gui to go with it (Then just run Ogle normally and you'll get the controls). If you _are_ watching DVD's.. Enable dma - They only set it to by default with RH 9 Hope this helps Chill. |
