I get the following errors:
[00000344] main interface error: option dvdnav-caching does not exist
[00000344] main interface error: option dvdnav-caching does not exist
[00000344] main interface error: option dvdnav-caching does not exist
[00000349] main access error: no access module matched "dvd"
[00000347] main input error: open of `dvd:///dev/dvd' failed: could not create access: no access module matched "dvd"
I suppose this version of VLC was build without DVD support?
Other features I would like:
- OGG playback (already mentioned by other poster)
- Amiga-style module (MOD, S3M, XM,...) playback
Except for this, VLC plays everything I throw at it......very nice work!

i have sent update with new version OGG support enabled with some other codecs just not posted yet
i will keep adding features dvdread / dvdnav next then :)

Thanks to Arslan S. for an update:
--- Code: ---Title: vlc.tczl
Description: VLC is more than a media player.(TESTING)
Version: 1.0.3
Author: VideoLAN Team
Original-site: http://www.videolan.org
Copying-policy: GPL v2
Size: 9.6M
Extension_by: Arslan S.
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.
VLC has a huge dependency so it is built by disabling most of them and only
including most essential ones for playing most popular formats.
Almost all audio and video codecs, and support for matroska,
ogg formats available with this build.
Reading from dvd,vcd,audio-cd, TV capture cards are disabled.
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.
You can switch to and from full screen mode by hotkey "f" or double clicking on the video.
Important thing to note about full screen mode is that a gray window named as "VLC(X11 out)"
covers whole screen when you switch to full screen mode. You can manually drag and drop it
out of screen by your mouse. I have no idea why it happens. You can get used to live with that.
Native language support is disabled.
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 (maybe more).
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 in
Tools->Preferences->Interface->Interface Type->Skins menu.
Note: I can rebuilt if any disabled feature is requested or vice versa.
This extension is PPI compatible.

Current: 2009/11/6 Updated to 1.0.3
Added support for the following:
-ogg format support

alu:
vlc needs the libdvdcss2 library in order to play encrypted dvd along with gst-plugins; is it possible to mention it in the info file? - would the libdvdcss library of the xine extension be a replacement for libdvdcss2 - what is the corresponding version number of libdvdcss (i think that vlc requires 1.2.10)?
