To Play encrypted DVD's with Xine, you will also need to download and install the following libraries. libdvdcss libdvdnav libdvdplay libdvdread If you were to use APT to download Xine, it should have downloaded these as well. I run Xine, plays ALL DVD's very nicely. But, those libraries are the key to playing most DVD's. (Plus it will play most other Video files too, *.mpg, *.mpeg, *.avi etc) Wolf
