Xine is suppose to play any dvds, right?

I'm getting a error when I tried to watch a movie. This is the error that I'm getting:

Quote:

$ xine -p dvd:/
This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.9.23.
© 2000-2003 The xine Team.
libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 1-rc3a from http://xine.sf.net
libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable.
libdvdnav: DVD Title: DVD_VIDEO
libdvdnav: DVD Serial Number: 2F889090
libdvdnav: DVD Title (Alternative):
libdvdnav: Unable to find map file '/home/enrique/.dvdnav/DVD_VIDEO.map'
libdvdnav: DVD disk reports itself with Region mask 0x00000000. Regions: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
libdvdnav: Suspected RCE Region Protection!!!

Is this normal? If it can't play regular dvds, then what's the point of this dvd player?
Please help...?

You need at least 1 more package to play encrypted dvd's: libdvdcss
If you don't have it yet, you might also consider win32 codec for quicktime and windows media formats.
Check the xine project homepage for more details on downloads, including binaries for some distros http://xinehq.de

Dont get discouraged - I run Xine on RH9 currently and it works great for me.

Thanks a lot DrChuck....I really appreciate your help...
It should be no problem or conflicts installing the two codecs right (libdvdcss, win32 codec)?

Again, thank you so much for ytour help!

just use the -Uvh command and it should go well, i'm surpised you managed to install xine without those codecs, usually it won't install xine unless you ahve the libdvd codec, but the uvh command as i said should do fine, then just open xine and try again...if ya get error post back.
