No worries, vlc is an open source player so it can do that as well,
CTRL+ALT+F2
and after login, #cvlc "Vanessa-Mae - 02 - Contradanza (M. Bratt).ogg"
or for the audiophiles among us
#cvlc "02 Contradanza (M. Bratt).flac"

I am not sure about DVDs but if you try to view a movie you backed up,
say a DVD compressed into a 700MB file to be burned as a video CD.
And you watch that file in different players you will notice a different

look horrible.
