I can't find fault in the hackers who made the first few seconds of
the disks introduction play. Peace be with them.
Sorry, just kinda upset about spending an hour trying to make a DVD disk
play.
For the curious, these are the errors I got with Ogle (those from xine
were similiar, but more numerous)
*** Zero check failed in ifo_read.c:926
for vts_ptt_srpt->zero_1 = 0x2400
*** libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in ifo_read.c:928 ***
*** for vts_ptt_srpt->nr_of_srpts < 100 ***
FATAL[ogle_nav]: ifoRead_VTS_PTT_SRPT failed

Have you installed libdvdcss?
I think my DAY of trying to get a commercial DVD movie to play will
be useful. I have watched whole movies on my FC4 computer. Here is what
works. You must yum totem and xine as a pair from Europe and also from
Europe get the Codex files. These 3 things are required and they are all
from Europe. When these things are all intalled use totem to diplay the
movie. Xine will not work and neither will mplayer.
