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
