Ok. I did try the install-css.sh script with ogle sometime back, but it 
seemed to use version 0.3 of libdecss or something. The current version
seems to be like 1.0. 
Is the cvs version of vlc much better than the unstable one ?

With xine, the dvdnav and css plugin just segfaults on my machine. I got
ogle to work, and mplayer to work too.. Both were ok, but dropped frames..
mplayer suggests using alsa for sound. Would that help ?

I have a 500 MHz ibook2, and I can watch divx movies in fullscreen (xine) 
without any frame dropping. Its perfect. So I can't understand why dvds 
don't seem to play. I dont think that decss cpu requirement >> divx decoding..
