vlc doesn't run on vanilla RH7.1

[jon at tgpsolutions.com]

Hi, I've recently switched from Windows to Linux (RedHat 7.1) and was trying to get DVD playback working when I came across your project.  

I installed the 3 RPMs:
  vlc-0.2.81.1.i386.rpm
  libdvdcss-0.2.81.1.i386.rpm
  libdvdcss-devel-0.2.81.1.i386.rpm

Running vlc gives me the following:

[user at host user]$ vlc -vvv dvd:/dev/cdrom

Then the program hangs.  I couldn't find a man page or any detailed descriptions of the input/output params on your web site, so could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? 

Thanks.

note: running `vlc --novideo` works great, but what's the point of DVD if you can't see anything? ;)
