[MPlayer-users] Live CD with Mplayer / gmplayer?

Hi, I need to be able to play videos (incl. encrypted DVDs) on a
(unknown) windows machine (laptop?) without installing anything (yet)...

Because Mplayer has played anything I have watched on my PC until now
and because of the stability and low cpu usage I want to use exactly
mplayer. 

I prefer to have gmplayer too, because I will not have the possibility
to explain windows users how to start mplayer from the command line.

So I know about movix2 but it lacks DVD support (libdvdcss). I know I
can add it, but is it enough to just copy libdvdcss-1.2.6-1.i386.rpm
into the movix dir, as I understand the README? (I have mplayer
installed but have no libdvdcss.so on my system, only libdvdcss.o)  Is
not the used version of mplayer is too old? Does movix2  have support
for cyrillic subtitles?

And I need to be ready tomorrow, so I have no time for testing...

So any help, suggestions, links to software and guides, I can use, will
be highly appreciated!
