Playing unencrypted DVDs is legal. But in order to play encrypted DVDs you need DeCSS which is supported by xine. But actually this is illegal in most countries. So you have to add it on your own. I proposed in an earlier post that Novell shall sell PowerDVD for Linux in an online store for some bucks. I would buy it.
If it is buyable outside of the standard boxed set, I would rather see it to be buyable for all Linux users. The only links I found were to Cyberlink and they do not sell the Linux version to individuals. The Windows version could give you an idea how much such a thing would cost. It would cost USD39.95 http://www.gocyberlink.com/multi/cyberstore/cyberstore.jsp Now all you need to have is something like libdvdcss2 and then 40 bucks is a bit steep. houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
