[MPlayer-cygwin] win32 mplayer can't play dvd's

[devans at presscentre.net]

So I have just discovered the win32 version of mplayer and would like to test a DVD.

http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/win32-beta/mplayer-mingw32-1.0pre3.zip

And installed the Latest Win32 codecpack.


I can play a DVD using the full path but not using the dvd://0 option.

My question is really,

 "What is the best practise to installing the win32 mplayer port" as there is not
  clear documentation on how to do this."


Regards and thanks
