Heaps of DVD playback (and record (and rip)) software about for *nix :)

So much so that it's very challenging to work out which player might be 
best suited to your needs, and what dependencies are required.

Perhaps the problem with the *nix OS community is the desire for people to 
learn about their systems and take care of them, rather than "point, click, 
make coffee, enter name and password, connect to net"
