DVD Playing on 2.4.8

[Chris Stevens]

I have Mandrake 8.1 using the 2.4.8 kernel on a Dell Inspiron laptop. 
(ATI Rage Mobility).

The dvd is /dev/cdrom

The 'disk' option appears to do nothing, even after linking /dev/dvd to 
/dev/cdrom

If I mount the dvd and use the gtk interface, specifying a .vob directly, 
it will
play the file on one of my dvds using the SDL output. However, the rest 
all give
read errors even though the directory listing is ok: is this a problem 
with decoding?
(Manual copying of the .vobs to /tmp/fails also).

I have installed the Mandrake rpm packages

	vlc-0.2.83-1mdk.i586.rpm
	vlc-gtk-0.2.83-1mdk.i586.rpm
	vlc-qt-0.2.83-1mdk.i586.rpm
	libdvdcss0-0.0.3-1mdk.i586.rpm
	libdvdcss0-devel-0.0.3-1mdk.i586.rpm

Will videolan handle interactive menus?

Many thanks in advance if you get the time to answer this.
