Only one comment: Take a look at Linspire and see which application they use to play DVD and try also to find out how they descramble CSS and you will have many more questions than answers at the end.
Do they really use libdvdcss2? So, why would they sell it as literally legal in the US? They are not that stupid, are they? They say that it is xine with a commercially licensed addition. But anyway, I think that Novell should be able to get such a project up and running. They could even make money with it. You already confinced me that going the xine/mplayer way is hard. But what about getting PowerDVD or LinDVD for Linux and make it work with the ATI and Nvidia drivers. Did these two graphic card vendors implement Macrovision into their Linux driver? It is clearly far from OSS, but I would be able to watch DVDs legally. Dani
