Always compile a CVS snapshot before reporting a problem.

Don't worry about this message.  In fact, I think you're better off with
-rtc not working.

Well, that could be an unreadable disc, or perhaps you compiled without
either mpdvdkit or libdvdcss support enabled.

problem.  Make sure other videos can play on your system, and/or add
"-vo x11" when trying to play the DVD.
