Hi,
	There seems to be demand for this info.  I don't think I'm
breaking the law by submiting this...
	Warning:  I am not an expert, I probably don't have the answer
you are looking for.  Please don't ask for the utilities.

How I played DVDs

0.0) uname -a
FreeBSD XXXX.XXXX.XX 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #2: Sun Dec 10 21:28:13 EST 2000     XXX@XXXX.XXXX.XX:/XXXXX/src/sys/compile/XX  i386
0.1) pkg_info | grep -i mpe
mpeg2play-1.1b      A program to play mpeg-2 movies on X displays
mpeg_lib-1.3.1      A collection of C routines to decode MPEG movies
mtv-1.1.4           High-performance MPEG video player (shareware)
smpeg-0.4.0         SMPEG is a free MPEG1 video player library with sound suppo
xine-0.3.5          A MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 player
xmovie-1.5.3.1      A movie player for MPEG-2 and Quicktime movies
0.2)  dmesg | grep cd
acd0: DVD-ROM <Pioneer DVD-ROM ATAPIModel DVD-105S 0122> at ata1-master using PIO4
0.3)  xdpyinfo  | grep release
vendor release number:    3360

1)  You need css-auth + FBSD patches and DeCSSplus.  A Google
    search for "DeCSSplus_v1" or "+decss freebsd patch" should do.
2)  Build tstdvd from css-auth and decss from DeCSS.  I
    patched DeCSS to stop using / as a getopt token.
3)  insert DVD
4)  tstdvd /dev/acd0c, it appears that the DVD drive won't
    give sector access without this.  This should authorize.
5)  mount /dev/acd0c /mnt
6)  cd /mnt/video_ts/
7)  DeCSS vts_06_1.vob -o /dev/stderr 2>&1 1>&- | dd obs=10m | dd ibs=1m obs=50k | xine -

- the above is a bash'ism
- xine doesn't last long when piped.
- xmovie doesn't seem to want to use the STDIN so I spool somewhere.
