It sounds like you need the libdvdcss2 file. I know that plf has Mandrake versions, but I don't think they do Slack versions. Try googling for it.

And possibly libdvdread2

thanks. i am using redhat 9.0 i just havnt updated my user profile

im going to try ur sugestion. i had a play around with xine and i managed to get it to play the opening bit of a dvd, (the titles and copyrite information on the wrestlemania xv dvd) before crashing before it gets to the menu. would this file sort out that problem as well? or is that a seperate problem?

thanks again for ur help!

Yeah, possibly, you might find that the titles and copyright aren't encrypted.

didnt work. still get the same problem.

tried again installing the packs. but this time using a terminal. worked fine. thanks for ur help
