If those replies were at all indicative it
seems there's a 50/50 split between MPlayer and Xine for viewing
DVDs.
Not forgetting Ogle of course. it was the first to have menu support,
which is important if you have kids who like the special features and
games on DVDs.
We've watched hundreds of discs using Ogle and Blackbox, and only get
stutters if the disc has fingerprints on it. Only two discs were
unplayable - both rental copies that looked like they had been
cleaned with sandpaper - and only one crashed Ogle.
This turned out to be a manufacturing fault in that particular title,
which stopped standalone DVD players at the same point.
