Overview
=========

I have a pressed DVD video which I cannot read with vlc (probably due to another annoying "protection"). The problem seems to reside in libdvdread or libdvdnav. So it would probably be the same with mplayer.

Environment: package libdvdread4, version 4.1.3 (revision 6.mga1), libdvdnav4 4.1.3 (rev 5.mga1) and libdvdcss2 1.2.10 (rev 3.mga1).
All possible vlc plugins were installed from the package manager.

Steps to Reproduce
===================

(1) Insert the DVD.
(2) Run VLC

Expected Result
================

The DVD should play.

Actual Result
==============

Does not play.

Here is the output of vlc run from terminal:

Additional Information
=======================

Not sure where I should look. I found some old topic on some Ubuntu forums, which looks like a similar problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=852837

But following the link of the patch (http://tobias.rautenkranz.ch/libdvdread_ifo.html), it is supposed to be fixed in libdvdread 4.1.3.

Mageia forums in particular do not give me a clue. videolan only outdated info. And I am not sure where to report this upstream (libdvdread seems to be part of mplayer project, is it? That should be my next step). So I report it here, in case anyone downstream know about this (and hopefully any existing patch exists to improve this in Mageia 2!).
Thanks.
