I am looking for a DVD player for Red Hat 8, but I have yet to find one. I searched and searched, but time and time again, I am forced to boot up WinXP in order to watch my DVDs. Is there a way to do this is RH, or is there a program I can download or even purchase? Thanks in advance!

I never had a problem installing Mplayer and it doesn't even do any damage to my system, check for error messages (/var/log/XFree86.0.log)
