I'm using xine-lib-0.9.8, xine-ui-0.9.8 and xine-dvdnav-0.9.8.beta2, all built from source. It works fine.
>From xine-dvdnav-0.9.8.beta2/README... Software Requirements ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * A version of xine-lib and xine-ui which matches the version number of this release. * libdvdread (0.9.0 or higher recommended) which may be downloaded from http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd/downloads.shtml * For CSS-decryption, a copy of libdvdcss from the VideoLan project's homepage (http://www.videolan.org/). xine can play Video CDs, SVCDs and DVDs directly. Unfortunately the legal status of encrypted/locked DVD playback is uncertain in some countries so xine does not include any DVD unlock/decrypt code. To play back such DVDs you'll need external programs or something like a xine_dvd_plugin that can handle DVD authentification/descrambling. There are links to the various available plugins on the xine home page http://xine.sourceforge.net/ -- Peter Ruskin, Wrexham, Wales. AMD Athlon XP 1600+, 512MB RAM. Registered Linux User 219434.
