Using Xv I have problems, which are related to the XFree86 driver for my card (trident cyberblade) not to FreeBSD. However, it plays, it's just that the picture is broken in a very strange way. Lower resolution videos play fine with Xv too. xshm is basically unusable in full screen mode, but I can use mplayer with dga to get high quality full-screen playback. I haven't tried playing dvds. I agree about the MPAA, but my main peeve is not the encryption per se (we have decss in various ways), it's the zoning at the hardware level (RPC 2). Given that I'm now in zone 2, and am likely to move to at least 2 other zones in the next few years, there's no way I'm investing in DVDs without figuring out how to make my drive region-free.
