Thanks to both for replies. I already had xine and I've now installed
the libdvdnav4 package from Sid. These seem to work - at least, when I
started xine I found it playing a promo piece for Dolby, though I don't
know where this came from. However, I can't play a DVD disk. This
contains files of the type:
*.bup
*.ifo
*.vob
Which, if any, of these should be playable? (I should say I've never
tried to use DVD in any medium before.)
