What's the big deal? You have to download all kinds of stuff to get Windows in a usable state. Just different stuff.

There's no easy way to get around the codec issue on Linux, because of licensing and patent hassles.

And why the heck are you trying to play DVDs anyhow? Isn't it easier to watch those on a DVD player with a TV?
