I was able to watch 'Anger Management' last night in mplayer running from dsl (in a pc without hard drives no less!). Although this in-and-of-itself is just plain awesome, I cannot get the screen to scale like in xine (xine doesn't play dvd's though - no css).. If I use the fullscreen option, it just blanks out the screen around the video, instead of scaling the picture to the screen. Is this a known issue with mplayer, does my video driver suck, or am I just a wannabie M$ defector without a clue??

(ok maybe the last one sticks, but hey.. )

I have done some experimentation with the mplayer package.
No results on scaling up so far.

I don't know if this is an issue with the xserver DSL uses,
or if there IS a way to force it to scale up in size.

That was the reason I went with the zine player build,
to see if it would do the same thing...It didn't, as you know.

Curious why zine would do so well, and mplayer not..

I think mplayer relies on the xv extension in order to go fullscreen. Xv is usually present in the fullblown XFree86 server, I don't think the kdrive servers has this functionality.

But what do I know, huh? :laugh:

Plenty,Grim!
I believe you're right.
I'm just using the Woody packages for
libdvdnav,libdvdread,libdvdcss,and a w32codecs
pack installed with dpkg -i to watch dvds.
I find I need to scale down the output window
to reduce cpu load on my old machine,but thanks to
ke4nt,it's a sweet application.And you can do this
"live cd" too.
