Mplayer won't play dvd! (was: dvd movie playing)
It seems that mplayer's installation was successful on my Debian Sarge,
I can also launch it with:
$ gmplayer
, but when I try to play a dvd, a window opens up saying:
Failed to open dvd://1.
, and on the terminal there is:
Playing dvd://1.
libdvdread: Couldn't find device name.
Reading disc structure, please wait...
libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO.
Can't open VMG info!
File not found: '1'
Failed to open dvd://1.
. Can anybody provide any help!, thanks in advance.

P.S.: Below are the steps I did to play dvd's with totem,
thanks to Vitaliy and Wackojacko for their replies.
--------------------------------------------------------------
That's what I did in order to play dvd's with totem:
from:
ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/pool/main/libd/libdvdcss/
I downloaded the package libdvdcss2_1.2.9-0.0_i386.deb and put it in ~/tmp.
Then:
$ cd ~/tmp
# apt-get install liba52-0.7.4 libdvbpsi3 libdvdnav4 libdvdread3 libglib1.2 libgtk1.2 libgtk1.2-common libmpeg2-4 libpng10-0 libtar libwxgtk2.4 libxosd2 ttf-freefont vlc wxvlc
# dpkg -i libdvdcss2_1.2.9-0.0_i386.deb
$ totem
, then in `edit > preferences' I chose the desired device
and so I could play dvd movies with totem.
However, I'm not satisfied with the quality:
on my desktop machine the movie walks by jerks,
whereas on the same machine it is properly played with xine
under Mandrake 10.1.
I'll try with mplayer.
Thanks,
Rodolfo
