	If you just want to play DVDs, you can get binary packages of the VideoLan
client (vlc) that pretty much only depend on stuff you get right at
www.videolan.org. Nothing like the mplayer dependency nightmare (which is worth
it, if you have a bunch of different video formats to play). 

	Of course, if you're sure your video player is using Xv and it's still jerky, I
don't know what to say. Make sure you have udf fs support in the kernel? See if
hdparm can tune up your dvd drive? 

	My X21 plays DVDs just fine with both mplayer and vlc, but it's got a piii-700
so it really oughta.
