[gentoo-user] dvd playback decryption trouble

[b.n.]

Hi,

I have a problem with dvd playback/decryption. I'm trying to see a 
(Monty Python) dvd on my Macbook Pro laptop with Gentoo. What happens is:

-mplayer segfaults

-xine starts, and libdvdcss seems to find the keys. however it stops 
before reaching the menus, saying that the DVD is encrypted.

-ogle and vlc start, reach the menu, try to start the playback, but the 
video either does not appear or it is badly scrambled. ogle reports a 
LOT of "WARNING[ogle_mpeg_ps]: Found a scrambled PES packet!" in the output.

Most funny is that:
-the same dvd on my Gentoo desktop plays fine with xine. I checked use 
flags for xine, libdvdcss, etc. but I can't find anything different 
between the two xine installs.
- other dvds play fine on the laptop

where could I look to understand what's different between the two systems?

:) I thought about that.

However I wanted to be sure that I don't miss something at the software 
level, before accepting the grim possibility my laptop dvd drive is 
defective.

Is Mac OS X able to play the DVD? That should determine if it is
hardware, not software.

Right. I checked now and, yes, OS X reads the dvd fine.
