These protection schemes I solve using DVDFab Free. I think it's better to use a software that really can read all kinds of DVD than to use a generic player like MPlayer and hope that it can manage copy protection. If you take a Disney DVD for instance, there're so many unplayable cells etc and all kinds of protection that I can't imagine using just MPlayer to read it. -- Linux 2.6.31: Man-Eating Seals of Antiquity
