Hello Group:

Been lurking for several weeks, first time post. Great group! BTW I 
checked my question via most, not all SAH archives before posting, 
didn't see what I was looking for.

I've been enjoying my Ultra-45 SPARC station for about 1.5 years, 
currently running the latest Solaris 10. I've been using the optical 
drive to burn Sol-10 upgrade downloads & to play music CDs & been 
enjoying that too -- audio out goes into vintage Heathkit AR-1500. New 
meets old! I would like to be able to watch DVD movies now. I see that 
Ogle, mplayer, and others are available from the blastwave.org site, and 
a few other sites. I am interested in a sort of public opinion on what 
is the most trouble-free to install, and gives the overall best 
experience for SPARC users, not x86 Solaris. Pkg_get would be preferable 
to having to do compile, make, etc.
