Unfortunately it has made no difference. Xine still tells me
The source seems encrypted, and can't be read.
Your DVD is probably crypted. According to your country laws, you
can or
can't install/use libdvdcss to be able to read this disc which you
bought.

On top of everything else, the change has broken mjpegtools. It
was, of
course, uninstalled and had to be reinstalled, but it is no longer
possible
to edit an avi file with 'glav -p S filename.avi'. I'm sick of
this kind of
fighting. It looks as though I'd be better off compiling
mjpegtools from
source.
I suspect that you may be better off re-installing xine as per the
standard livna package and trying another way of de-crypting the BBC
disks. It may be of little help or consolation to you but I have had
the same problem with BBC disks -- I have a 1992 set of DVDs which
xine chews on for (what seems like) half an hour before returning an
error message. VideoLan didn't fare any better either. I haven't
tried newer disks from the Beeb but am not holding out any hope. They
are obviously encrypted in a commercially advantageous way because
they work fine in my iBook and in my "real" DVD player, a Marantz. I
have started installing dvdrip from freshrpms but am still having fun
working out the bits and bobs of missing library files ... :-)
Best wishes,
