I was trying to use vlc to play some video DVDs. It worked on two of

someone previously stated a rule for which DVDs vlc will not play.
Could someone restate the rule?

I could not find any other application to play them either. Is there
such an application?

Have you installed libdvdcss2, which is needed for decrypting some dvd's.

Mplayer includes it in the package, but vlc, xine, and ogle, etc, all need it.

Freshrpms, or Livna to get it.

Nigel.

I can't find libdvdcss2 on livna. Is it possible it is only on
freshrpms?
