Yeah, but where I don't mind using commandline under Linux, I don't think I 
can persuade my family to do the same under Windows. Actually, under Linux 
I've already added an entry in Konqueror to just open a directory with 
mplayer as if that directory contains the DVD. Sure, it won't give me menu's, 
but I can play them quite nicely. :)
