from the FAQ:
37. I get the following error right after I start:
libdvdread: Get key for /VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.VOB at 0x0000016f
libdvdcss error: ioctl_ReadTitleKey failed
The problem here is mostly that it fails requesting the key from
the drive (only works if the DVD drive and DVD
disc have the same region) on RPC-II drives. This means it has
to crack the key instead.
Are these DVDs from another region then that of your DVD
drive? If yes this is a bug and we'd like to hear about
it. If no, Do you have, or are planing on getting, discs
from different regions? If not I belive you need to set
the region. Get dvd_region or some other tool that you
can use to set the region. (Ex. dvd_region -s -r 1
/dev/dvd). The region is 1 for the US, 2 for
Europe... if you live some other place look at the
back of you DVDs
there should be a globe with a number in it,
that will be your region.
Otherwise you might want to explore any
options of making you drive region free (also
called RPC-I).
at the back of the DVD, there's a globe that says 4. should i set my
region to 4? suggestions? comments? how do i make my drive region-free?
thanks a lot for your help!
