IMO it would be very helpful if we could somehow do this with the new
libs... My system is usually fast enough for DVD now, but playing DVD
from the original disc is still noticably slower than playing a ripped
copy (-dumpstream), and I imagine the decryption is partially to
blame. For some people (~k6-2/400) it could really make a difference.
