   Region 1 Princess Mononoke and Matrix are encrypted (100% sure about
this). I don't know about Gladiator, but since the Region 2 version is
encrypted, there are good chances the Region 1 one is as well.

   Maybe you need to start at a particular title (use -t and -T
options).

   This is due to the XVideo plugin being temporarily broken. To get
real full screen with the SDL plugin, maximize the window before going
to full screen (or launch vlc with "--width 1024 --height 768" or
anything similar).
