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.

i have the same libdvdcss version.
totem should work also with gstreamer, but i preffer xine.  i personally dislike vlc, but mplayer is also very good.
i'd also like to tell you that there are some dvds (especially new ones) that have a kind of protection that prevents them from playing in pcs. i've experienced such problems with second quarter dvds released this year. for this function to be surely tested you'll need a 2-3 years dvd that currently play well on the dvdplayer. after you're sure about that insert it into the dvd player/recorder and hal should recognize the dvd and try to start the right application.

Thanks,
Jim
