How to Play DVD on Fedora 5 Using VLC Player

In Fedora Core 5, you can play DVD with some software like Xine, Totem, Mplayer, Realplayer/Helix etc. But here i found VLC (VideoLAN Client) is the way to play DVD (for me). So just install VLC through Yum plus using Livna repository. I'm using using repo from Freshrpms and Livna
# rpm -ihv http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/5/i386/livna-release-5-8.noarch.rpm
# rpm -ihv http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/5/i386/RPMS.freshrpms/freshrpms-release-1.1-1.fc.noarch.rpm
then start using Yum
# yum -y install videolan-client
and you can see a tons of dependencies get install
