I don't know how to use mplayer from the command line. I shudder

many switches and parameters I have to specify. Can you help with that?
Assuming you have a /dev/dvd it should be as simply as typing
mplayer dvd://
If you don't have a /dev/dvd then you may have to create a link to your dvd player to
make things easier
In my case, and in most cases, it would be
ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/dvd
I would test for you....but my DVD drive is broken.
Just give that a try. What could you lose? You may even read the man page on
mplayer. I've never had to give much in the way of other options unless I was doing
something "exotic".
FWIW, even though the laser in my DVD player is dead I still get....
[egreshko@acer ~]$ mplayer dvd://
