Problem DVD's

Is there a list of DVD's that people have difficulty cracking? And is 
there anything that can be done with them? I have libdvdcss 1.2.8 (from 
livna - http://rpm.livna.org/), and I get the same error regardless of 
whether I use xine, mplayer or ogle:

libdvdread: Attempting to retrieve all CSS keys

(repeat errors for each VOB)


I used the same computer and software to play other DVD's, and this is the 
first time it's happened. Are there any alternatives? (Also, I just 
downloaded the source for 1.2.8 and compiled it with the same result. 
Then I got the latest CVS - same errors.)

The DVD in question is Shame -

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
