[gentoo-amd64] Playing DVD problems

[Jim Seymour]

Is it possible to play DVD's under Gentoo AMD64? I can mount and read
the discs fine. I have been trying to use Totem to play DVDs and all I
get is "Totem cannot play this type of media (DVD) because you do not
have the appropriate plugins to handle it"

I found a suggestion in a Gentoo Forum to run this command to find out
what is missing:
emerge -sv gst-plugins | grep -B 2 "Not Installed"
This produced a long list of mostly masked packages. Totem is built with
dvd support and I have the amd64codecs installed. I also have libdvdcss
installed. Is there a good howto on DVD under Gentoo?

Thanks,
