Hi,
When I was a Windows user, I had “Cyberlink Power DVD”. It was great!
Is any alternative for Linux?
there is no such thing as “best”. Best is something, in most cases, subjective. There are various DVD players you can try out so in the end only YOU can consider which is “best” for YOU.
MPlayer
Xine
Kaffeine
Totem
VLC
My favorite is xine. Best looking. Mplayer is ok, can be lacking in quality. Kaffeine is xine (by default) and looks closest to a window media player, but doesn’t give as much control as just plain ole xine.
I use xine/kaffeine the most… mplayerplug-in for browser based media content and for easy ripping and transcoding.
Just installed VLC, and it’s working without any problem. I’m instantly removed my KMplayer and Kaffeine installations. 
ps.: Mplayer is still installed, it’s pretty good for playing these *flv files from *tube. 
what do you mean by that? are you talking about picture quality or control quality? (control quality here meaning ease of use). If you’re talking about picture quality then there is no way that xine will be better than mplayer considering both use the same core libraries (libavcodec, liba52, libpostproc, libavformat, libmpeg2, libswscale etc). The only diference between xine and mplayer is that xine devs modify the code of these libs so they can integrate them with the xine codebase, while mplayer uses them directly without any modifications. In fact, if you pay close attention to an SVN checkout of mplayer, then you will see that these libs get checked out from the ffmpeg trunk directly without modifications.
If you’re talking about control quality, then I somehow must agree. By default, mplayer doesn’t support DVD menu’s. This, however, can be “fixed” by compiling mplayer with the libdvdnav library which adds support for it. Personally, I don’t use it since I don’t care for menu’s, i’m interested in the movie itself, not some annoying menu’s.
You’re probably right… I know at one time you couldn’t get decent deinterlacing with mplayer… but things do change.
DVD nav is important when comparing to a Windows DVD player. Keeps from having to hunt for the main title.

you probably used a messed up mplayer build, some messed up content, or one of these filters was messed up. I personally never had problems with mplayer deinterlacers. The only deinterlacer that can crash from time to time is mcdeint - motion compensation deinterlacer. Due to it using some code of the experimental Snow codec developed by Michael Niedermayer/Loren Merritt (x264 dev/maintainer) for its iterative searches, it can badly crash if you use it with values > 0 (eg, mcdeint=1, mcdeint=2, mcdeint=3)
If you use GNOME DE you like totem it not really as WMP but it easy to use light and pretty good
personally for me I like mplayer and totem… VLC is looking good but if i try install it from vlc repo, i got some breaking depends…

You should use VLC from packman.
Only package needed from VLC repo is libdvdcss. Then disable that repo.
