I'd second Xine, I've used it quite a lot as the DVD player for Myth and it's been great.

Can any recommend a DVD player for Linux (Ubuntu, specifically)?
The default one, Totem Movie Player, will play the DVD, but has no navigation at all other than the slider bar at the bottom, and that's a bit flaky at best. It also only works when a DVD is inserted; when starting from the Applications menu it complains of missing codecs. Or perhaps I've just missed something?
I tend to use to use xine for that, follows DVD menus as you'd expect.
