None of the software DVD players for Linux respect navigational controls.
This is probably because most of them don't understand navigation at all!
If I buy a DVD I *really* don't feel like having $CORP dictate how, when,
and where I can watch it. Thus, the PC is the only DVD player for me.
I *do* have a regular DVD player, but I've never used it for watching
movies. I use it to listen to CDs. It turns out that a really nice DVD
player costs less and works better than single-disc CD players on the
market today.
