make sure that your user has adequate permissions to access the RAW device node.
Yes I thought about that. Won't decrypt running player as root.

Here is what I have. I have a DVD here "The Great Escape"

When I attempt to play the DVD
On the windows(XP) box in the .dvdcss directory I get
Code:
 c:\Documents and Settings\.......\.dvdcss\GESCAPE-1998022609573900-00ecada931\0000354dda
And the contents of 0000354dda is c0:ec:ad:a9:31
And the DVD plays of course. I use mplayer on windows too.

On the FreeBSD box in the .dvdcss folder I get
Code:
/usr/home/<username>/.dvdcss/GESCAPE-1998022609573900-00ecada931
and nothing in the directory. And the DVD is scrambled of course.

If I make a text file named 0000354dda, make the contents c0:ec:ad:a9:31, make it executable,
Or just simply copy the key over from windows the DVD plays fine on the BSD box.
I thought about permission problem but running a player as root should eliminate that shouldn't it?

I leave playing DVDs under a BSD OS to the masochists under us
Ya I got my teeth into it now and want to know how it works.

Thanks for the help.
