Jim.
What software are you trying to play it with? That would help in
trying to resolve the issue.
For DVD's I use either mplayer or xine.
Hi Robin, perhaps you could tell us how you got mplayer and Xine to
to display DVD movies? I understand it takes some Secret files.

Take a look at this. It is close to FC6.

You need libdvdcss to be able to play commercial DVD's. I installed my
lib from livna.
This whole issue is legal and is caused by the US Government and
copyright/patent rules and fear of litigation.
The first think I do on a new install is install "yumex" as a graphical
package manager. I like it but I will see what is new on F7 shortly.
I then enable a couple of outside repositories.

In yumex, I then do a search under install for DVD and install what
packages I want/need.
