Or download Ogle from Blastwave or OpenCSW. You will need to compile
libdcss and place it into /opt/csw/lib.

Ogle is nice but will NOT give you the same technical specs. This DVD
player is worth every penny imho. Paying for something really good is
not a curse, you know.

The last software DVD player I bought was bundled with a SCSI DVDrom
drive (so technically it was included with the price) and has be used on
W2K and WinXP, but recently I downloaded VLC and find it does exactly
the same job. At some point I will install VLC on OpenSolaris but Ogle
does everything I need at present.
Fluendo should try getting their product bundled with retail DVD drives
or use redeemable vouchers.

I don't agree. I find $19.90 a bargain and am willing to pay for good
software. You are right of course w/ VLC. It does a very nice job. As a
DVD player I think the fluendo player just offers a technical higher
standard. But if you don't need it.. ;-)
