vlc and mplayer will not play a studio DVD: SOLVED

[Temlakos <temlakos@xxxxxxxxx>]

Everyone:

Immediately after sending a message about failure of vlc and mplayer to 
play my studio-issue DVD's, I suddenly remembered what component I still 
had not installed: libdvdcss, available from ATrpms and livna. After I 
installed that package, my studio-issue DVD's will now play in vlc and 
mplayer.

Totem remains recalcitrant. Once again: where do I get the required 
plugins to play DVD's and MPG-encoded movies in totem?
