Hi, I remember something about the 'dvd.css_decryption_method' setting in xine. Its on the 'media' tab in the xine configuration dialog box (you have to the configuration experience level to master of the known universe on the GUI tab to see it.). It has three possible settings key, disc and title. I think it defaults to 'key', which works most of the time. Give the movie a go with it set to 'disc' or 'title'. I have got movies to play with 'title' when they wouldn't play with 'key'.
Hope that helps!
