Fw: is this project alive?

[CORDING Darryl]

It's all getting a little clearer now. 

I assume the css-cat is in the decss software mentioned in the howto. It
doesn't appear on the linux software map or on my redhat cdrom. Any idea
where to find the software??

   Yes, it means that the file you gave it didn't have a recognizable
format. This usually happens either when the video file is encrypted,
either when the file isn't a real video file (like a menu file, for
instance). If your DVD is encrypted, you'll have to get css-cat. Or if
the problem was that you weren't feeding the proper files, you can try
the other .vob files, such as vts_01_1.vob.
