Thanks for all of the suggestions. I have a feeling there is something
odd that is missing or configured incorrectly on my system. I mentioned
that I tried to get Totem to work. I use gnome and have everything
installed for totem listed above except xine. Maybe I will try that
next. From the other suggestions so far I decided to try vlc as I had
heard a lot of good things about it recently. I emerged vlc and it
grabbed three other packages as well. I ended up with a vlc command line
install and nothing but the --help that didn't get me anywhere. I have
enabled the wxwindows for vlc and am reinstalling it. Gentoo does not
list a libdvdcss2+ version available. I have libdvdcss 1.2.9-r1
installed as well as all of the other packages that start with libdvd.

Thanks,
Jim
