The problem is that they have to integrate tightly with the shipping X Server to fulfill the mandatory copy protection mechanisms (macrovision). This makes shipping a generic DVD player for Linux very difficult.
Ah, so if there would be a legal version of libdvdcss2, that would cause a problem? Somehow I do not think so. To build an installer around that should not be too hard, be it deb, rpm, tgz or even a binary.
Well, can you guarantee that this will always enable Macrovision protection for Video Out of your graphics card? If not, you are not conforming and do not have a legal DVD player. Ciao, Marcus
