DVD playing on Linux

[Karl Larsen]

    I have burned hours of time trying to get FC4 to play a simple 
commercial DVD in my DVD player on this computer. I can put the DVD in 
my laptop with Windows XP and it automatically comes up with the movie 
starting.

    I realize the movie industry has been very bad about things and the 
work towards getting a DVD reader for Linux is being done in Europe away 
from the goons in Hollywood.

    Totem comes up saying I don't have "libdvdcss" so it can't work. 
Xine says it can't even get to the DVD because /dev/dvd/ is root only.

    Yes I tried to yum the lib and it can't find it. I have done 
everything the good web page

has done I have done. Still it all does not work. I have loaded Totem, 
Xine and Mplayer and all three do not work.
