[ubuntu-uk] Playing DVD through projector

[Stuart Ward]

I would suggest copying to a mpeg or simmular format with handbreak
and then playing with mplayer, then it is easy to script into your
presentation, just call mplayer -fs ripped.file.mpeg

You could of course play directly with mplayer -fs /dev/cdplayerdevice
