Those stderr messages sound normal for libdvdcss.

I'm gutted that vlc can successfully play DVDs for you too - like I originally noted, it never managed on _any_ of my desktop machines. Maybe it is imbued with the spirit of The Lady (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lady_%28Discworld%29#The_Lady) and before I first used it I must have asked myself "Do ya feel lucky?" and decided that I did. I just booted my SandyBridge i3 to re-check, and there it plays for about 1 second at a time, interspersed with longer periods of silence and frozen video. So it is not even an intel/AMD difference. ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early. After all, she was an old lady.
