I am using SuSE 9.1 Pro and found the following warning: "This version of xine lacks support for playing DVD discs for legal reasons." Not-so-open-source?
Are you sure you know what open source means?
The system is current using YOU. Wonder if 9.2 resolves this. Any comments will be appreciated.
Check http://packman.links2linux.org/ for multimedia rpms with less restrictions or - because xine _is_ open source - compile it yourself from the (open!) sources.
That still wont do the trick. He needs the libdvdcss-1.2.8.tar.gz which gives him the css stuff so his computer can read/decode the dvd. You can find that file in a bunch of places on the net. Look especially to some French sources like the vlc project. Richard

another good source location I found for Xine, Libdvdcss and all the win codices I found is:
I use that link too, all you have to do is open YAST and uninstall the Xine SUSE comes with and all the other things that have to go with it, and then use those RPMs, install, and you're done. The instructions on the page work well on every SUSE version I've tried, and I can now watch DVDs. I opened Xine and popped in a DVD, and then clicked on DVD and it loaded.
They also provide ample material on where to read up on how to install should you run into any snags.
Good Luck,
Cheers, Hanno
