Strange. I've tried ogle as well, and I can say that MPlayer is FASTER
for playing DVD than Ogle ... [a small note: some people complains about
problems at cracking CSS keys or so, but we're using the same lib (libdvdread)
which is used by Ogle as well ...] I've only one disk as well: The Matrix,
regio coded two. It was even playable on my old AMD K6-200/400 with little
glitches though. Now, it's perfect on my Duron 800 with some about 50%
CPU usage.
