I have also noticed that the FreeBSD dvdio.h is different then the NetBSD and 
Linux versions (possibly the OpenBSD as well) Is there any reason that linux 
and the other *bsd's seem to have one setup and ours is different?

I have had moderate success using xine with captiancss, but it is rather 
crashprone.  I have also been able to get the libcss from livid to compile 
using patches i found on a list somewhere, but it never seemed to work for me.

Does anbody know of a good, stable way to play dvd movies on FreeBSD?
