You don't mount a DVD to play it. You just tell the video player
which DVD device to use. Using the libdvdread library (which
will use the libdvdcss to decrypt the DVD) the DVD is read in
raw mode and the video stream then delivered to the video
player.

Can I do this across a network? The computer with the DVD drive is
remote, and has no graphical display. I currently mount the drive,
and access the content via a network share.

Something must run libdvdcss on the same machine as the DVD drive.
There's probably some media server that will allow remote access to a
DVD. MythTV has a DVD plugin that might be able to do it.
