Most modern media players can play native DVDs directly. I usually just use totem in Ubuntu which is dubbed as "Movie Player" in the menus. It will play DVDs directly and it will also conveniently play ISO's that are DVD rips so I don't need to always have the disc handy or bother with the whole optical drive, tray, dvd case, etc. -----Original Message----- From: tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org [mailto:tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org] On Behalf Of gregwm Sent: Monday, September 20, 2010 6:45 AM To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: Re: [tclug-list] play muzzy I've played them b4 on a TV/DVD player, no windoze OS there. You don't think mplayer can handle that sort of disc?

I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power!
