Introduction

This is a site to coordinate the effort to bring DVD support to Linux. We hope to get Linux DVD-Video playback working with software and hardware decoding. Several groups are working on this project and this web page will hopefully serve as a shared medium to encourage teamwork.

There is plenty of good material on the mailing list. Browse the archives for discussion of various products, ideas, legal issues and so on. Please join the list and contribute your own concerns and ideas.
