Oh you sweet talker! That worked like a charm. This has vexed me for
some time! I thought the "dvd://" was a MPlayer thing and there are
mentions of it in the MPlayer man pages, but no mention in the Xine
man pages. How'd you know?

This too worked like a charm, and once again I query, "How'd you
know?" As there is nada in the man pages on this.

Again -- Thanks a bunch
