Is there a HowTo to setup DVD playing and burning on Fedora Core 5.

I have just installed a DVD/Burner and I need to know what I need to view
DVD movies.

I have K3b installed and can burn DVD data disks, so I got that part
right

Thanks

Not to put this newsgroup down, but fedoraforum.org is an excellent place
to search for your fedora problems. Found this link for you:

I have not tried FC5, but my experience from other distributions is that
DVD-burning "just works". However my search also found this thread:

Download libdvdcss and install it.
Also from the same place get libdvdread
Now you have choices. mplayer, xine, I like ogle,...

There's a legal problem with it: DVD viewers, at least of encrypted DVD's
like most commercial ones, require the libdvdcss library or its equivalent,
and that's been ruled illegal for a bunch of nasty
Hollywood-industry-protecting and fairly nonsensical reason. At last look,
thee was *NO* legal player for encrypted DVD's.

That said, the "Xine" package has a lot of fans, and is available at:

There is no legal opensource player. Windows has a number of for pay closed
source viewers. There may even be some for Linux.

And libdvdcss is available from sites around the world (except in the USA).
