Jim,

I have been using vlc (www.videolan.org) from the ports collection for a few
weeks now. It is working well for me. My video card is a Matrox G400 based
card (Marvel) and I have used the ports upgrade to Xfree86 4. Success is
dependent on video card architecture and driver support. I believe that some
ATI models work well, and some are having problems with some Nvidia based
cards. The only DVD that has choked so far for me is a Disney title
"Fantasia".

Thanks to Brian Somers for the port and updates.

Stephen Hilton
