extract video from DVD

[Jean-Paul Saman]

vlc does that by default (it is builtin). Right now they have their dvd
css decryption stuf inside a library that is compiled seperately. The
library is called libdvdcss and is part of the vlc codebase. On their
website www.videolan.org they have a description of their API.

Good luck.
