I have been trying to find a place where I can get the sytem to run DVD movies on a Athlon 64 running SUS 9.3 x86_64. I have tried loading the libdecss2 64 bit version and have no luck at this time. I have searched the net and found different ways of doing it but most of it seem to apply to 32 bit version.
Is there a place where I can get a more definitive method to do it?

Joe I installed the following from packman site and it works great. Install in the following order 1.w32codec 2.speex-1.1 3. libxine 4. xine-ui..........and lastly libdvdcss2......might be a easier way but this works great for me. chuck Joe Morris (NTM) wrote:

The libdvdcss that comes with SuSE distros is crippled for legal reasons, DVD decyption is illegal in Germany. That's why you either have to build your own from downloaded sources or use the one from packman's site. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

Er, no, DVD players are actually sold even in Germany :) What is illegal is to distribute a means to decrypt them without a license from the patent holder. It's more or less the same idea as the DMCA in the states. There is no law that I know of that specifically targets DVDs, it's a general patent/copyright thing It is possible to sell licensed DVD players though, and a few linux distributors have done so. I know TurboLinux did it, and I *think* Mandrake and Linspire have done it too

packman doesn't distribute the sources or binaries anymore, you have to get the sources from videolan, and then Packman has the framework that helps you build them once they're downloaded. There is a site in Brazil that has the precompiled stuff.

Sure, xine. I'm sure libdvdcss used to figure if you wanted to play DVD's under Linux using xine and it's variants. I now notice libdvdnav that is in the downloaded source is not in the SuSE xine-lib, I wonder if that's the difference. With xine built from sources running, this is all I see. # lsof|grep dvd xine 11696 root mem REG 3,1 597089 452866 /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.0.1/xineplug_inp_dvd.so Neither the plugin nor libxine.so.1.12.0 seem to depend on libdvdcss or libdvdnav.

Granted, I was thinking - playing DVD's under Linux using GPL software.

Both the above distros enable you to play DVD's under Linux. Turbolinux has licensed the commercial package PowerDVD which is obviously not GPL, so is not available on other distros.

I've used the Connectiva stuff in the past as they were compatible with SuSE. I've done a quick read of the differences between Connectiva and Mandrake, but I didn't get a clear idea of whether Mandriva's next distro is going to move in the direction of Connectiva or Mandrake, Connectiva being the distro that is way more FSH compatible, you'd think it would hold sway though the rational and the obvious don't necessarily carry the day.

It doesn't depend on it, but it does open libdvdcss when you play a DVD. Run that command again when you're playing a DVD. libdvdnav I think is deprecated, ISTR the functionality has been subsumed into libdvdread.

I used the following script to get and install the css thing. Save it as install_libdvdcss2 and make it executable. Read the stuff at the beginning to see what else you need. Works beautifully!

OK, I see the connection. I remember now that on 9.2 DVD's wouldn't play until I installed libdvdcss. I must borrow a DVD from the daughters again. Thanks & Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
