watch a dvd help

COKEDUDE · #1 5th December 2011, 03:53 AM

Is there a trick to watching a DVD in Fedora? I have tried vlc, smplayer, gnome mplayer, and totem with no luck. I can watch any other video type with no problem so I don't understand what the problem is. I can also watch the DVD in Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Windows with no problems.

Do you have the codecs installed. Take a look at dangermouse autoplus

Code:

su -c 'yum -y --nogpgcheck install http://dnmouse.org/autoplus-1.2-9.noarch.rpm'

libdvdcss maybe?

Thank you

. It would be nice if one of those programs gave you some useful message.

Here's how you install it.

Interesting. Once upon a time, there was Livna. Then a new repository named RPM Fusion came and assumed stewardship of Livna's packages. Except for one. Libdvdcss. I never knew why until now.

I've only been using fedora for about a year so I didn't know that.
