Dxr2 Projects
There are a number of projects related to the dxr2 driver. Everything
from scripts that will automatically compile dxr2 with the features you
want (dxr2install) to plugins for various media players that allow you to
control your dvd-playback from a Graphical User Interface. There are also
a few driver specific projects, such as projects that strive to port the
linux dxr2 driver to other platforms, such as FreeBSD, NetBSD, and
OpenBSD. Below is a list of dxr2 related projects. Be aware that some of
these projects are not hosted on the same network as the Dxr2 Resource
Center, and therefore may or may not be accessible at a certain time.
Dxr2 Linux Drivers
The Linux Dxr2 Project strives to create drivers for the Dxr2 card for the Linux
Platform. The project developers also work on various plugins/players that work
with the drivers. This allows Hardware Decoded DVD Playback on Linux to work
extremely well.
Dxr2Install
This project strives to help users get there dxr2 cards working under linux NOW
ignoring the technical details. The program is currently being developed
by Raphael Zulliger
Dxr2 FreeBSD Driver
Project
The FreeBSD port project is exactly as it says, porting the linux dxr2 driver to the
FreeBSD Platform. FreeBSD is an
advanced operating system for Intel ia32 compatible, DEC Alpha, and PC-98
architectures. It is derived from BSD UNIX, the version of UNIX developed
at the University of California, Berkeley. For more information on
FreeBSD please see there website at

Dxr2GUI
The aim of Dxr2GUI is to make it easy to watch a dvd. It helps you to change
audio language, tvout format, subtitles, ... everything from inside a
Graphical User Interface.
Xine-Plugin for the Dxr2
Card
The dxr2 Xine
Plugin is a plugin written for the
Xine Media Player which allows you to use the dxr2's great hardware
decoding with the Xine Media Player's nice Graphical User Interface. Xine is
a free video player which plays mpeg-2 and mpeg-1 video, DVDs
(unlocked/unencrypted only), video CDs, SVCDs, and AVI files (using Win32 codecs)
with synchronized audio and video, and optionally fullscreen using the Xv
extensions in Xfree86 4.x. Please check out the Xine website for more details at http://xine.sourceforge.net/
