The output isn't scrambled in the idea of "it can't be decoded" but in the idea of "I get error messages that my comp is too slow (what I do not believe)"

Every freeware-media player needs libdvdcss because it has otherwise no possibility to decode css-protected DVDs. Open Source-projects usually do not have the money and possibilities to get their project licensed with the DVD association.

Btw. ogle gives me only:
ERROR[ogle_nav]: faild to open/read the DVD
callbacks.on_opendvd_activate(): DVDSetDVDRoot: Root not set
Note[ogle_gui]: GetDiscID failed
