One advantage of external players is that they're scriptable.  Eg, I could
configure my myth video player to be a script that would do some bookeeping
or whatever before actually playing the video.  Last time I asked (on the
user list), there wasn't a way to launch the internal player from a shell
script.  I actually want to use this to prompt the user to insert a DVD, and
then launch the internal player to play the video from there.
