I did a check using vlc and kde. The dvd didn't play at first because I

I did note a lot of messages in the terminal that I launched vlc from.
Those stderr messages sound normal for libdvdcss. I usually run it
from a menu.
Perhaps we need to add libdvdcss to the vlc dependencies.

For libdvdcss, perhaps it would be a good idea to include it as
optional. 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.
Video problem? DVD driver problem? I tested on my i7 with i915 video
drivers. It's a pretty new (less than 2 months old) system.
