Re: xine and dvdcss

hi i have this problem with libdvdcss also. I canplay dvd movies but not all
dvd's. I have two stacks at home, one for those that plays in xine under
linux and the other for those that play with powerdvd only. all of these
dvds are playing in powerdvd.

why is xine choosing what dvd's to play? is the libdvdcss very limited to
select dvd's only? this problems keeps my windows xp around. i still have to
dual boot just to play dvd movies not playing in xine.

when i play a certain dvd, i got this error saying that i am playing an
encrypted dvd but when i try to play another dvd i don't receive such error.

any ideas?
