What drive > and distro are you using? And how smooth is the video? I'm using a Afree DVD drive (super generic) and a hacked up version of Redhat 6.2. X3.3.6, kernel 2.4.4. The video is super choppy because A) my crappy video card and B) my crappy CPU. It may just be that I'm the exception not the rule on this (I have a lot of weird hacked libraries on my system, your results may vary). One thing that excited me is that the HOWTO is VERY short considering the "supposed complexity" of DVD and yet it's damn near idiot proof to get it working. -Brian
