look if you have this libdvdcss-1.2.8-1 and this libdvdcss-delevel-1.2.8-1. If you haven't got them go to: http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/xine/

Do you mean the ones with network in the file name. I cannot find the non network one's in the xine page?

There's some sort of legality issue with dvd's. I guess there's a patent on the software to read them or something. There are patches like the ones mentioned above, but you can't distribute them with your linux package without paying beauquo bux to some legal nazi.
