Ogle:
Last but not the least (in my list) comes Ogle. Ogle is a another free DVD player for linux and other Unix-like operation systems. Itwas actually the first open source DVD player to support DVD menu’s in Linux. Sad thing is, it doesn’t play any multimedia contentexcept for DVD’s. Ogle features, Bookmarks, time skipping, multichannel audio, SPDIF output, crop & zoom video etc.
