[xine-user] Watching DVDs on a DVD Player

[<den...@we...>]

Hi everyone.

I'm new here and I'm new to Linux. Since I want to switch over to Linux for=
=20
good, I've got to get everything running and now I'm working on my=20
DVD-Problem.
I use the new SUSE Linux 9.0, which altogether is very newbie friendly. The=
=20
xine-lib and the xine-ui that come with it are installed. But it seems that=
,=20
due to legal "uncertainties" about css it doesn't come with the nessecary=20
plugin to play my DVDs.
I've been looking around on the net but couldn't find instructions that hel=
ped=20
me find and install the proper plugin.
Since I'm a real newbie to Linux the instructions, some nice person will=20
hopefully give me, can't be detailed enough. I would like to know where doe=
s=20
Linux install packages by default (there seems to be nothing compareable to=
=20
Programs in Windows) , how does configuring, compiling and =A0installing of=
=20
sourcecode work.
I already downloaded the a plugin which I configured with ./configure, but =
it=20
told me that iI should install xine first cause it couldn't find xine-confi=
g.=20
Manually I couldn't find 'xine-config' anywhere either, but it is installed.


I'm looking forward to some help, and hope no one is offended either by the=
=20
triviality of my problem nor by the legal issue concerning the css. I just=
=20
want to watch my legally purchased DVDs without Microsoft products.

Thanks alot in advance.
