   There are three players currently working in Linux.  OMS seems to have the 
best design for integrating different GUIs.  I expect it would be very easy 
to write a KDE GUI for it.  I have had the most success getting Xine to play 
DVDs for me.  And of course I"ve heard good reviews of videolan as well.  In 
any case, it would be really nice to have a native DVD player.  The biggest 
problem will be portability though.  I'm sure it won't work on all the 
platforms that KDE works on.  Also all of these players seem to be under 
heavy development and the interfaces could keep changing from day to day.  It 
might be a lot of work to maintain at first.

   It's definitely something to consider for the future.
