[newbie] encrypted DVDs with Xine or others?

2002-12-15 Thread Andrei Raevsky
Hi,

I got my first computer with a DVD driver.  I ran to the local library to 
rent a movie to test in, lauched Xine and got a message than Xine cannot run 
encrypted  DVDs  How can a commercial DVD be encrypted?  Does this have 
something to do with the fact that I heared that US DVDs cannot be played in 
Europe or Asia?  Is this some regional problem?

My Mandrake 9 was purchased in France, my computer and DVD driver are US, 
but built in Japan...

Is there a software out there which will run encrypted DVDs (whatever this 
means)?

Thanks,

Andrei

You might want to get and install MPlayer instead...or Ogle...Xine is
still a tad buggy now and again...
