Yep, that's another one. God only knows why xine
sometimes simply spins
out of control, leaving me with a frozen machine. Thankfully it happens
less with audio apps, but I like watching DVDs on Linux and I don't like
to worry about whether I'm going to make it to the end of the movie
without a major lock-up. It doesn't happen very often, and it's easy
enough to reboot but it's damnably tough to debug.
Pentium II 350MHz with 128Mb RAM can run VLC (Video Lan Client) for DVDs
very well. A few dropped frames, but no lock-up. I'm using the DeMuDi
kernel.
