I previously posted this in the Software forum, but got no replies - maybe someone here can help:

I'm at my wits end here.

Near the end of watching movies I get this (using Fedora Core 6):

libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.9 for DVD access
libdvdread: Attempting to retrieve all CSS keys
libdvdread: this can take a _long_ time, please be patient

xiTK received SIGSEGV signal, RIP.

DVD RW drive is Samsung SATA drive. I installed a second DVD drive (an older IDE drive) to see if the problem was the player, but I still get exceptions in the IDE drive as well.

I get the same exceptions in xine, mplayer, etc (which makes sense since they all use libdvdread).

yum update confirms that I have the latest versions of libdvdread, libdvdnav, libdvdcss, xine, mplayer, and all that stuff.

I have no trouble playing DVD's in windows. Some searches turned up info on using ide-scsi for playback - but it also seemed that Linux kernel 2.6 eliminated the need for ide-scsi - besides, is ide-scsi valid for a SATA drive?

I have no trouble accessing data disks, the problem only seems to occur during playback (usually on the later tracks - always nice when it cuts out at the end of a movie. )

I'm desperate here - I've been working on this for 2 weeks already.

If the answer involves rebuilding something, I am sure I can do that, but I'd need some tips on getting started as I'm new to Linux.
