I've got it working... somewhat now. The fix was to mount the disc at play
the file through the path ('xine /cdrom/bla/bla.vob' instead of 'xine
dvd://bla.vob').
Now, why can't xine handle direct access to to the dvd-drive?
Another issue I've got 2 movies (bot css-encrypted... I think). One plays
fine but the other (The Matrix) freezes xine and plays nothing. Both R2.
The drive should be without regionlock.
