Pre-RFP: Ogle -- DVD player based on libcss

[Richard Atterer <deb-devel@list.atterer.net>]

Hi,

Is anybody interested in packaging Ogle? It claims to be the first DVD
player for Linux that supports DVD menus.
<http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd/index.html>

I don't think there are any legal problems with packaging it, since
it's based on libcss, so it doesn't contain any controversial code
itself.

>From the "Features" page:

  * Supports DVD menus and navigation.
  * Reads from mounted, unmounted DVDs and hard drive.
  * Reads encrypted and unencrypted DVDs using libcss.
  * A new MPEG2 decoder with both MMX and SUN Solaris mediaLib
    acceleration.
  * Normal X11 and XFree86 Xv display support with subpicture
    overlay.
  * Audio and subpicture selection.
  * Handles advanced subpicture commands such as fade/scroll
    and wipe.
  * Detects and uses correct aspect for movie and menus.
  * Possible to play AC3 via S/PDIF with an external command.

Cheers,

  Richard
