Hello,

"Anyway, I don't think libdvdcss is that better than 
libdvdmpdvdkit, which mplayer uses as default"

I think you are probarbly right ! I found and installed libdvdcss2 and 
libdvdcss2-dev  via dpkg -i nothing changed. it seems that libdvdread 
has the problem, but from browsing the web libdvdread depends on 
libdvdcss which has been upgraded.

Playing /dev/dvd
Reading disc structure, please wait...
libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO.
Can't open VMG info!

Newbe question here ... apart from dpkg do I need to do anything else to 
get the libs recognised ? As I understand it by installinf the -dev part 
it should be auto-picked up by libdvdread.
