DVD in xine

I have just installed a DVD+-RW in my PC.
It works perfectly to burn/read data CDs and DVDs
I created a link between the physical device and /dev/dvd, and can use
that link for burning/reading disks.

Now I am trying to play a movie DVD and it won't work. Xine launches,
but won't play the file.  I assume this is related to the encryption but
don't know and don't know what to do for getting past this point.

I have installed totem, and have the following packages that I thought
would work installed.

[root at goliath dev]# rpm -qa 'xine*' 'totem*'
totem-0.99.15.1-1.1.fc2.fr
xine-lib-1.0.0-0.14.rc6a.1.fc2.fr
xine-0.99.2-1.1.fc2.fr

I also have these dvd libraries/tools installed.
[root at goliath dev]# rpm -qa | grep dvd
dvd+rw-tools-5.17.4.8.6-2
libdvdcss-1.2.8-4.1.fc2.fr
libdvdread-0.9.4-5.1.fc2.fr
libdvdplay-1.0.1-4.1.fc2.fr

What else do I need, or does someone have a different suggestion for
playing DVDs.

TIA
