Another important thing is to make sure UDMA is enabled if you have an IDE DVD drive. See hdparm.
Xine will also play DivX given the right libraries, but I agree with Ricardo, it's not the most rock solid of apps.

I remember a discussion at the last meet about playing DVDs and someone recommending Xine as a player. I have had a go at setting this up and it complains saying it won't play encrypted DVDs even with libdvdcss installed.
Has anyone else got this working? If so what did you have do do?
I found xine hokey, personally. I found OGLE to be far more reliable in it's support for DVD's, menus, etc. But then again it doesn't play mpegs or avi's.
Maybe try an older version of libdvdcss- for some reason the newest one doesn't work for me, but the old one does! Also, your DVD might need to be set rw, I can't play encrypted DVD's without it being rw for the user in question.
Hope that helps.
