[CLUE-Talk] DVD Playback

[Dave Price]

Hi,

I tried running DVD movies thru my linux box for the first time with
questionable results.

I was able to get output from both xine and ogle easily; but both apps
had a lot of skips in the video.

I am running a p-iii 550 w/ 384mb RAM and using a phillips atapi dvd
drive.  I have activated DMA on the dvd drive.

Is this enough 'hardware' to expect good results?

What kind of hardware should I need to get excellent results?

Any advice on other players that would make use of modest hardware?

aloha,
dave
