Just for the record, DVD playback with the internal player currently
freezes up during the FBI Warning and such on quite a few DVDs, so
most people have to restort to using an external player (like mplayer)
to watch DVDs with the current 0.21 build.

But I have also been using Jean-Yves Jaunty packages for a while now
and other than a few minor issues that have workarounds, they have
been working GREAT.
