I have libdvdread and libdvdcss installed, I played a DVD in mplayer last night and was very happy. Today I tried to play an encrypted one on Mplayer1.0pre3 and it doesnt work. So i updated all my libraries and tried again. Same result: Playing dvd://1. Reading disc structure, please wait... There are 27 titles on this DVD. There are 1 chapters in this DVD title. There are 1 angles in this DVD title. DVD successfully opened. Cache fill: 3.91% (20480 bytes) LMLM4 Stream Format not found MPEG-PS file format detected.
