Hi,

> Is there a way to force TITLE_KEY decryption (as opposed to TITLE_KEY
> cracking) on DVD?

 * \li \b DVDCSS_METHOD: sets the authentication and decryption method
 *     that \e libdvdcss will use to read scrambled discs. Can be one
 *     of \c title, \c key or \c disc.
 *     - \c key is the default method. \e libdvdcss will use a set of
 *       calculated player keys to try and get the disc key. This can fail
 *       if the drive does not recognize any of the player keys.
 *     - \c disc is a fallback method when \c key has failed. Instead of
 *       using player keys, \e libdvdcss will crack the disc key using
 *       a brute force algorithm. This process is CPU intensive and requires
 *       64 MB of memory to store temporary data.
 *     - \c title is the fallback when all other methods have failed. It
does
 *       not rely on a key exchange with the DVD drive, but rather uses a
 *       crypto attack to guess the title key. On rare cases this may fail
 *       because there is not enough encrypted data on the disc to perform
 *       a statistical attack, but in the other hand it is the only way to
 *       decrypt a DVD stored on a hard disc, or a DVD with the wrong region
 *       on an RPC2 drive.

anyway titlekey _decrypting_ is the default of libmpdvdkit2
(if the region code of disc+drive match, otherwise it's not possible)
