> In this document we describe how to view DVD movies and video on a Linux
|
|
system. We give practical, specific, and straightforward commands for
|
|
getting DVD playback up and running quickly on most of the popular Linux
|
|
distributions. Special attention is given to the various little-known
|
|
performance optimizations that are needed for smooth DVD video playback.
