Kids Linux DVD Players

What's everyone using to play DVD's with in Linux? I've used VLC and Xine, has anyone got any other recommendations or comments. I was surprised when I did a search here that nothing came up.........

I would reccomend ogle as a DVD player. Never liked Xine and VLC too much.

I'd recommend mplayer, it plays virtually any media file you throw at it, check it out http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design6/news.html

I've always used Xine or Mplayer, never really had a problem with either.

Xine still gets my vote after trying the others mentioned. I like its gui which is a lot like cyberlinks powerdvd.

thanks for all the replys.
