Hi People,

How do you go about playing encoded DVD's on Linux, or d'you have to use
Windows?

Any help gratefully appreciated. I get the following from xine when I try
to play them. Have downloaded and installed 'libdvdcss', but the problem
persists


             input_dvd: Sorry, this plugin doesn't play encrypted DVDs. The
legal
status
           of CSS decryption is unclear and we can't provide such code.
           Please check http://dvd.sf.net for more information.

Also, any ideas of the legal situation.

RichardM
