Yeah, I had mine going in beta3 thru rc1 (I think the previous trouble 
I had in beta2 was my drive that needed replacing).  I use mplayer to 
watched my encrypted dvds.  I have a toshiba.  I don't know what 
could be your problem.  Did you link your device to /dev/dvd?  For 
example I used:
ln -s /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target2/lun0/cd /dev/dvd  (of course yours 
will probably be different).  
I think xine may require a rdvd, enable rawdevices in chkconfig.

anyway, I'd be more than glad to help you if I can.  Come back and 
explain what you;ve done and what your device is and anything else 
you can think of.  Start mplayer/xine from cli and give errors 
recieved, as they can be real helpful.
