Yes. Dell's sw has paid their extortion money to the DVD CCA to obtain a CSS licence. You need to upgrade your xine to use CSS. There are pointers to RPMs for this - try freshrpms.net (spelling?). | Then the other DVD it says it can't find VIDEO_TS.VOB. | I think I saw a xine mailing list somewhere.

Bear in mind that to because the DVDCCA and the movie studios basicly sue the hell out of anyone who even tried to type the letters CSS, the xine project itself does not supply CSS decryption. However, the libraries to do it are available elsewhere and can be added to your xine install. You want the D4D or D5D plugins. -- Cameron Simpson, DoD#743 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/ On a related topic, has anyone looked at doing a clean-room copy of CSS a la RC2 and RC4 a few years back? I know one or two people have looked at this in an informal manner, but we couldn't find anyone who hadn't already seen the DeCSS code to act as the clean person (it says a lot for the status of their "trade secret" that we couldn't actually find anyone who didn't already know it). - Peter Gutmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
