You get that error when mplayer misdetects the .DV file as a .VOB file.  It's 
got nothing to do with libcss or anything, you just have to tell 
mplayer/mencoder that it's a .DV file.

Unfortunately I can't remember how I did it right at the moment, I vaguely 
remember having all sorts of problems persuading it to use the right codec, 
etc.  I have a feeling that using -cache 2048 with mplayer would get it to 
detect it properly.  It should come up with something like "Detected RAWDV 
format." when you get it to work.

Another option is to capture the DV as .AVI files - then detection is 
automatic.

I'd also advise *not* playing DV fullscreen at first, because mplayer normally 
crashes when you quit after playing DV, so if you've got a full-screen window 
open it can be difficult to run kill -9.  (My version is a little old though, 
so this could've been fixed by now.)

Anyway, I hope this helps you a little!

Cheers,
Adam.
