I tried mplayer, vlc and ogle and experienced the same symptoms like
when this DVD drive was in virgin state (with no region-code set) and
when I tried to play normal region 2 DVD, which means:

  * vlc - no output at all
  * mplayer - sound ok, video scrambled in colourful squares, producing
    a lot of errors like this:

a52: CRC check failed!  0.046 ct: -0.029  21/ 18 11%  1% 23.4% 0 0=20
a52: error at resampling
A:   1.5 V:   1.7 A-V: -0.197 ct: -0.036  23/ 20 11%  0% 22.8% 0 0=20
demux_mpg: 24000/1001fps progressive NTSC content detected, switching frame=
rate.
a52: CRC check failed!  0.045 ct:  0.100  34/30 ??% ??% ??,?% 0 0 a52: erro=
r at resampling

  * ogle - the flood of these kernel messages with syslogd eating a lot
    of CPU:

Nov 16 22:21:58 black kernel: acd0: setting up DMA failed
Nov 16 22:21:58 black kernel: ata2: FAILURE - non aligned DMA transfer atte=
mpted

After setting the region of my DVD drive to 2, I never experienced
such errors (after uncountable number of local DVDs) until I got there
region 1 ones. That's why I was so confident that libdvdcss is a
problem.

No, the same as with ogle.

Hmm, my home is currently FreeBSD-only. :-) But I managed to try it and
- -- yes, it works. Strange. In the light of your post about LITE-ON
DVDRW LH-20A1S 9L08, is it possible that DVD drive causes all these
problems?
