Whoops, that's the plugin I've been trying to get away 
from (polite mode on) it's not very useful. I was hoping 
that by using something like mplayer I'd get:
- better compatability with interesting formats (eg DIVX)
- DVD menus might work

My experience with the dvd plugin has not been good if the 
dvd has even a slightly interesting menu system.
