On our PC's right?
1) On Bill's OS
2) On regular dvd players which are intended for this (please do not get offended)
3) find/retrieve/store keep copies of libdvdcss source code and compile it on our own, at
our own risk, and install it.
I still like option 3 the best, but as long as I can watch the movie I would not mind
option 2 or 1 going in that direction :)

A mailing-list has been set up for support and discussion about
libdvdcss. Its address is :

When reporting bugs, try to be as precise as possible (which OS, which
distribution, what plugins you were trying, and so on).

The VideoLAN web site at

information about MPEG and DVD playing. Have a look at the documentation
section, as well as the bookmarks.
