I note that d4d and d5d are masked, perhaps the reason is obvious, but should I download them and install conventionally, or is there someway I can by-pass masking, or is this a seriously stupid question?
I need to play my legally purchased dvds!

Apparently they dont work with Xine 0.9.10 and above.

What about Ogle? That's very nice too.  |

| I have alot of problems with ogle playing dvd's. It stutters all the time even when there is no cpu load. Half the time it crashes when trying to start dvd playback. I also have similar problems with mplayer. Xine on the otherhand seems to be the better player. Everything plays very smoothly under it. Except dvds of course. So I'm with hulmeman on this one we need updated xine dvd playback capabilites. |

"Everything plays smoothly except DVD's" is very interesting. Does your computer play DVDs fine on other Operating Systems? I have an AthlonXP processor now but on my old AthlonTB and even a while ago on a K6-2 500, my DVDs played fine.
Xine, MPlayer and Ogle all play DVD's flawlessly here. My problem with Xine is a bug with it and my NVidia card.
Do you have v4l compiled into the kernel? If you don't want stuttery DVD playback, you need it. IIRC anyway. |

The machine is a 1.7ghz P4 with 512mb of ram and a geforce3 video card. Anyways I never knew that I would need v4l in the kernel to play movies and such. Thanks! |

v4l? You mean "Video for Linux"? That's video capture/video mastering equipment, not DVD playback. DVD playback uses standard processing techniques in software and simply forwards it to X to display, there's no kernel options involved. (Unless you have a hardware decoder, but that's another issue entirely.)
For performance tips, check that you have enough RAM and see if your CPU is getting sucked down.

If you intend to use Xine with the XV driver (far nicer on your CPU with far better output than XShm), V4l being enabled will improve performance - certainly if your display card supports direct rendering. More on this over at:
http://dvd.sourceforge.net/xine-howto/en_GB/html/howto-8.html
Without V4L enabled, my DVD performance on three machines is frankly, s**t slow and stutters terribly (despite a fast processor). Regardless of whether I'm using Ogle, Xine or MPlayer. Does the v4l API give direct access to the overlay of the display cards in question perhaps? |

Access to the cards is the role of the X server. Drivers there can talk to a kernel-level resource module (i.e. DRM/DRI as mentioned in "8.3 The XVideo extension" or nvidia-kernel), but that's not the "Video for Linux" kernel option.
| Code: | CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV:
Support for audio/video capture and overlay devices and FM radio cards. The exact capabilities of each device vary. ... |

i found that xine-dvdnav works very well, even better than d5d.

|

I have a Gentoo 1.2 and Xine 0.9.1 with an Athlon 900 400 meg ram GeForce 2 TI 200. My DVD are playing smoother than i ever seen on a pc before. In order to play the encrypted dvd you will requiered to do the following :
emerge xine-ui
emerge xine-dvdnav
Make sure the X-Synchronise option is not enable in the xine option.

Make sure you're using Xv and not XShm as a video driver and that you have DMA enabled for your DVD driver (in your kernel or using hdparm).
dvdnav works very well.

I'd like to add my $0.02 --
To reiterate -- TURN OFF X-Synchronise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I beat my head against this all day with xine, and this was the one option I didn't mess with. *sigh* |

| When you pull up the options, it's the very first one on the very first (GUI) tab. How embarrassing for me! |
