-<P>Yes, the real DVD support has been arrived. You don't need to play VOB files
-manually from disk thinking of the purpose of a file in the video_ts
-directory, you don't need worry it it's an encrypted disk or not (in old
-<B>MPlayer</B> you had to put '-dvdauth /dev/dvd' into the command line in case
-of encrypted discs), and you don't need even mount your disk to be able to
-play (but mounting it makes Linux cache the cracked CSS keys, so the playing
-will initialize much faster second time).</P>

-<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: please _DO_NOT_ require further features for DVD playback.

-parsing, reading navi blocks and doing authentication/descrambling. libdvdread
-uses libdvdcss to the latter tasks. So you will need libdvdcss and libdvdread
