just search the archive ;) ok, you wouldn't have found it anyway, but
i remembered reading something like this a while ago and grepped in my
mailbox. result:

seems the italian version is really a bit strange.
solutions: 
- in the reply someone said, he used smartripper (windows?)
- write a letter to the big bad company and complain that you can't use it
on PS (i'm not sure if they should care that you can not use it with mplayer
as i'm not that sure about the legal status of libcss etc in italy), but
it should work on PS.
- bring it back to your dealer, complain, get your money back and download
the dvd rip ;)
