There is also the mighty MPlayer. It too has a GUI. It doesn't appear to be part of any Debian Sid sources, but it's *really* easy to compile by hand. I would recommend you get "checkinstall" whilst you're at it (makes + installs .deb files from source). If you get the Win32 codecs then you can play pretty much *anything*. It even handles encrypted DVDs without using DeCSS... I think what it does is the first type you play a disc it generates a hash to identify *that* disc, it then does some serious number crunching to establish how to decode it and stores the two together. Next time you insert *that* disc it just re-reads the hash and viola it'll play the movie nicely. It's also an absolutely fantastic command-line player - so many options!
As far as I know, MPlayer isn't free. However, I have this in my sources.list: deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main which has MPlayer all nicely packaged for download. -- -Benjamin A'Lee Termisoc Secretary: http://www.termisoc.org/ Home Page: http://benalee.co.uk/ Public Key: BEC9DC1A
