Two questions.  First, what is lsdvd?  I don't seem to have it.  Second,
what went wrong when I tried to run it?  What I get appears to be the dvd
playing, but with very large garbage pixels.  Parts of the screen that
aren't changing seem to clear up and look good until they move.  Since this
is the first time I've tried to play a DVD since I upgraded to Fedora 8 I
tried "The Incredibles" and got the same thing.  AVIs and MKVs work fine.
Could this be a codec problem?  I loaded mplayer and mencoder direct from
the Fedora 8 ISO.  Here's my output from Howl.

Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?
For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.

Try appending the scale filter to your filter list,
