reading DVD data and mpeg2 streams

[guestgulkan]

Hello,
I've written a mpeg playing widget (which I've also posted to the wiki).
It plays mpeg1 files (and VideoCDs) using SDL and SMPEG.
I also want to open and play DVDs which is a bit of a problem.
Is anyone here familiar with how to read data from DVDs and decoding MPEG2 streams?
I'm searching the web but info and examples are patchy at best.

Must be for Linux.

I think there is libdvd or something like that...
