It may have to do with the wrong command. I don't know if
"mplayer dvd://1" and "mplayer DVD://1" make a difference. However, I did run "kaffeine dvd://1" and "mplayer dvd://1" once late last night but it didn't help.
I strongly suspect the location of codec is not stored in the right place for x86_64 that I have. /usr/local/lib/codec is highly suspicious.
I guess the path should have something like lib64. I don't have time to experiment with that.
My overall FC9 experience is that I had a bad start (add in a wrong livna repo) and I use x86_64 FC9, and this adds up to a bad experience.
I am sure if I switch to x86 FC9 (or F10?) and do a fresh install the problems may disappear. But right now I don't have time to check it. Someone may update me if they have succeeeded. Thanks for the help out there.

sorry I missed the last two posts. Yes, you can say I followed the thing blindly on the 32-bit instructions. But giving the complexity of the whole issue, one can easily miss that. (well, one can argue that Java is 32-bit based and the 32-bit instructions are valid, at least that's what I know)
But I have suggested I am playing with the 64-bit beast when I quote:

axelfc, I will do the
"su -c 'yum install libdvdcss'" when I have a chance. But I think I still have a problem even with that.
But I think the codec path is pretty screwed up. Can someone tell me where to put them ?

are you using the cli to start mplayer
why not use the gnome default gui
gmplayer ( should have been installed by yum ) . Or the qt4 version "Smplayer "

cli = command line input ?
Thanks for pointing out gmplayer. Frankly I don't know the proper way to run mplayer before this. I came upon "mplayer dvd://1" from a google search. Did a quick check, gmplayer is working on CentOS 5.2.
do you think I should spend time figuring how CentOS5.2 organize the
codecs in the 64-bit environment ? I may have to google search for this solution when I am free.

the cli command should be
---
mplayer /dev/dvd
---
however mplayer lacts most of the dvd suppors.No jump to seen ,no menu ,etc...
the best player for dvd's i have found is VLC
and can be installed from yum
Code:
yum install vlc libdvdcss
