Hi,
Could someone help with playing encrypted DVDs on Lenny?
I run Lenny on a Dell Insprion 640m laptop that uses a Sony Optiarc
AD-5540A DVD player. The player had its DVD region code set to 3 so I
couldn't play India-only DVDs (region code 5) on it.
Regionset smoothly changed the drive's region code to 5. But I still
am unable to play encrypted DVDs on it. In fact, I can only play
unencrypted DVDs (marked with region code ALL).
With a region code 5 DVD in the drive, "mplayer dvd://1" throws this
and hangs:
MPlayer 1.0rc2-4.3.2-DFSG-free (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team

There are 2 titles on this DVD.
There are 46 chapters in this DVD title.
There are 1 angles in this DVD title.
audio stream: 0 format: ac3 (5.1) language: en aid: 128.
audio stream: 1 format: ac3 (stereo) language: en aid: 129.
number of audio channels on disk: 2.
subtitle ( sid ): 0 language: en
number of subtitles on disk: 1
MPEG-PS file format detected.
Totem and VLC fail too. The disk is probably okay because it played
on someone's Windows desktop. What is going wrong? Can I trust
regionset? I checked debian-user archives and looked up on Google --
regionset seems to have worked for most people.
Any comments will help.
Thanks,
Girish.
