[MPlayer-users] libdvdcss and libdvdread issues

[Michael Hunold]

Hello pl,

thanks for your hint.

libdvdcss ?

Ok, libdvdcss-0.0.3.ogle3 uses player keys by *default*, which are
packed into "css.c".

I know that all valid player keys can be extracted from each dvd, but as
you all probably know, the player keys are meant to be a secret. So
perhaps packing them directly into the source is not good...

libdvdcss-0.0.3.ogle3 indeed performs quiet well on cracking the title
keys -- the first key takes about 12 seconds, the other keys less than a
second.

But basically libdvdcss-0.0.3.ogle3 and libdvdcss-1.0.0 should behave
the same. Strange...

But I get more and more convinced that the problems are related to my 
dvd drive (a cheap creative 12x). The cracking does not hang because it 
takes so long, but because my drive does not respond for a long time...	

Rats... I'll try and switch the dvd drive then...
