When building xine-0.9.12, you need/can include support for em8300/dxr3, even if you do not have the hardware. The configure script will look for this library and include support if the library is present. > most likely xine is region free as long as your drive is regionfree. > most dvd drives have firmware updates to make them regionfree. I discovered that xine-0.9.12 does not include DeCSS and so is not region-free. I also discovered that my DVD drive can not play Region 3 DVDs, so most probably it is a Region 1 player. So I downloaded DeCSS (css-auth.tar.gz), built it on my system and tried if it can read the Region 3 disk key on "The Patriot". It failed. Like you, I am still looking for a solution to region-free DVD playing on my Linux box. PMana _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
