Xine does work though, exactly once per insertion of a DVD. If I try
to use it a second time, it doesn't work. I don't think dd has a chance to work, since there was no dvdcss auth done...
dd doesn't use or need dvdcss. It creates a binary copy of the DVD. dd doesn't care what is on it.
When dd has created a binary copy of the DVD in /tmp and xine runs that, xine will call dvdcss to decrypt that binary image in /tmp.
dd needs to work. Every time. Only then will you know that the OS can get at your DVD drive reliably.
That fact the dd freezes your system is also an indication that something bad is up with your DVD drive.
I can only repeat that it sure sounds to me like a hardware or DVD-burner-driver problem. But of course what you choose to spend your time on is up to you. And I might be wrong! :-D
