emerge mplayer dvd

[bryan.6]

so i'm interested in watching dvd's on my computer. i stick one in there, and hit mplayer -dvd 1, which gives me an error that i don't have libdvdread or something compliled in, so i type emerge libdvdread, and it does that for me.
i try it again, and it still says that, that's pretty expected since i didn't recompile mplayer.
so i hit emerge mplayer, and as it goes through, i think that i saw that it didn't include dvd support again, and no, that's not that surprising either, so i guess my question is, how do i with emerge include that dvd support? is there a way to get the source, and then i have to do it manually? or is there an option i can pass to emerge, or what? thanks in advance.

I believe there is a dvd use flag. So I would USE="+dvd" emerge mplayer. I think that the programs needed before Mplayer are libdvdcss,libdvdnav,libdvdread, and maybe libdvdplay. I know that css is for decoding and nav is Dvd menu's. The second two ought to be self explanitory.
Hope that helps!

sounds like /etc/make.conf does not have dvd in the use flags. <edit> I got beaten to the response </edit>
