DVD: anything else besides libcss?
Hi, A minor breakage first: libavcodec does not compile out of box under (Free,Net?)BSD. Fix: to add sys/types.h to libavcodec/common.c And the real issue: is there plans to support anything else besides libcss (like libdvdcss from videolan project, for one) for encripted DVDs? The reason is purely utilitarian - libdvdcss is in the FreeBSD ports tree while libcss isn't :-) Regards, Vladimir -- Vladimir Kushnir - vkushnir@Alfacom.net _______________________________________________ Mplayer-dev-eng mailing list Mplayer-dev-eng@lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mplayer-dev-eng

Hi, thanx, fixed.
And the real issue: is there plans to support anything else besides libcss (like libdvdcss from videolan project, for one) for encripted DVDs? The reason is purely utilitarian - libdvdcss is in the FreeBSD ports tree while libcss isn't :-)
what is the difference between libcss and libdvdcss? does libdvdcss exists for linux and solaris8 too?

libdvdcss should be highly portable (vlc is running on a lot of platforms, different processors and OS) A friend said that it's also easier to use ("open, read, close") and at least it does not need root.

libcss also does not require to be root! The main problem with CSS at all that you need the starting sector of the object because it's a must for doing title authentication. This information can be determined with doing FIBMAP ioctl but that needs to be root under Linux (FIBMAP as non-root user is not planned for Linux kernel 2.5.x either). This is true for every possible CSS implementation AFAIK. The solution is using informations from IFO files. This does not require root privs of course. As you can see this root or non-root problem is not CSS implementation related thing. AFAIK. (Or it's possible that libdvdcss has got some IFO parsing utils, I don't know.)
