How about a DVD player for the desktop?

When I installed ogle via apt-get on my woody (Debian 3.0), it asked me if I want to install decss also. I answered yes, and it automagically downloaded, compiled and installed decss. I think it is quite comfortable even for an average user.

That'd be nice and all..... if it were Free Software, but that ain't gonna happen!

It's no problem for me to get the decss plugin for Ogle or Xine, but it's a showstopper for the average computer user. I think it would be smart for Mandrake to partner with Intervideo so they can include a software DVD player with the next release of their distie. These sort of things should work out of the box.
