vlc
Arslan S.:
i don't know if vlc uses gstreamer but i have added libdvdcss to my todo list for next update
alu:
the gst-plugins are not compulsory, but give you more codecs (sometimes useful); libdvdcss2 is compulsory in order to play encrypted dvd (most of them are encrypted today); instead of recompiling vlc, can't we use the libdvdcss library from the xine extension? i don't know if it would enable to play encrypted dvd though, since usually you need the libdvdcss2
Arslan S.:
i didn't say recompiling it ;D i will anyway build it again sometime probably when 1.0.5 is released
vlc uses libdvdread and libdvdnav for dvd access
libdvdread can be build with libdvdcss and then linked to vlc dvd access plugin
because it is static linked a rebuild is needed
some plugins don't require complete rebuilding maybe just building dvd access plugin and replacing it with the current one or taking it from another distro's package ;D may work
alu:
thanks Arslan

Comments: VLC media player is a highly portable multimedia player supporting most audio
and video formats (H.264, Ogg, DivX, MKV, TS, MPEG-2, mp3, MPEG-4, aac, ...)
from files, physical media (DVDs, VCD, Audio-CD), TV capture cards and many
network streaming protocols.
This is the latest stable release in Goldeneye branch.
Almost all audio and video codecs (except rare ones), support for matroska,
ogg formats available with this build.
Reading from dvd(with menu support),vcd,audio-cd, bd, TV capture cards are enabled.
You can have OSS or ALSA for sound, both enabled.
This build does not depend on Xorg but I recommend it if you want to watch movies
in full screen (especially hd movies).
You can switch to and from full screen mode by hotkey "f" or by double clicking on the frame.
Important thing to note about full screen mode is that a gray window covers whole screen
when you switch to full screen mode. You can manually drag and drop it out of screen by
using your mouse. This cannot be reproduced with other window managers than flwm.
One of the things you have to do when you first run vlc is to show full path to a valid font
in Tools->Preferences->Subtitle menu. You can find one in /usr/local/share/vlc/skins2/fonts
You can also choose the proper character encoding here for your subtitles.
There are also some suggested options to increase performance while playing hd movies.
Go to Tools->Preferences, in bottom left corner click on "All" in "Show settings" then
expand Input/Codecs->Access modules->File, set "Caching value in ms" to 800 ms.
Again in Input/Codecs, expand "Other codecs"->FFmpeg->Decoding->
"Skip the loop filter for H.264" , select "All" .
Skins enabled so have a look at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/skins.php
and put the ones you like most in the directory ~/.local/share/vlc/skins2
Go to Tools->Preferences->Interface and choose Skins in Interface Type and restart vlc.
vlc will start in default skin. If you want to change skin right click on somewhere near
vlc buttons then Interface->Select skin (if you put your skin files in the directory given
above, your skin files should appear here). If you put your skin file in a different directory
you can show full path to it
Tools->Preferences->Interface->Interface Type->Skins menu.
Note: For video4Linux2 support you need to load libv4l extension
Note: For encrypted dvd support you need to install libdvdcss
Optional dependencies: Xorg, SDL(+graphics-libs-1), libmtp, libv4l
This extension is PPI compatible.
