I've tried Ogle, Xine and VLC. So far Ogle has worked out really well --
especially for DVD menuing. I can't remember if Xine supports DVD menus as
of now. It's been a while since I installed Ogle, but I believe it also
provided a neat script to run which automatically downloaded and installed
the pertinent decss libraries. Aside from the lack of DVD menus, VLC
worked nicely, too.
