encrypted DVD playback

[Troy Engel]

I don't really watch DVDs on my laptop at home, but decided to try last 
night. I fought with it for 2 hours, nothing I do seems to allow me to 
play back 'Leon' (International Cut) which seems encrypted. The laptop 
is Fedora 7 on a Thinkpad T43 with a DVD-RAM drive, pretty standard (SKU 
2687D3U, ATI X300 video).

I have libdvdcss and every other library installed, as well as Xine, 
gXine, Totem, Mplayer, Ogle - you name it OGMRip and DVDRip and anything 
else FreshRPMs has to offer. Still nada, everything fails to read the 
VOB files. The best error I got was gXine telling me it 'couldn't read a 
NAV packet', Google results say it's CSS encryption, and one forum 
thread suggested installing Xine again *after* libdvdcss was installed; 
so I uninstalled/reinstalled that to no avail as well. (I looked for any 
--scripts or --triggers in the packages too, hoping something edited a 
config in /etc/ to add CSS support - nada)

Can anyone help point me in the right direction to get this working? I'm 
not sure if it's a core Fedora thing, a libdvdcss thing, maybe something 
wrong with FreshRPMs packages (never!! :) ), or what. Help appreciated 
if you've fought this battle before...

thx,
-te
