I just thought you guys would like to know that I love mPlayer. It makes playing video on linux an absolute dream. It comes with all of the codecs you need and can play dvds. Also, it is commen enough that you can get it for any common distro, in binary form. So it is a sinch to install, and a sinch to use. So it is not completely leagel, I love it and I wish it was leagel.
