Hi,
Forgive the nievity of this question. But am I correct in thinking that typing
export DVDCSS_METHOD=disc
will change the method that libdvdcss tries to crack the discs keys for any 
player it is running under?
I've tried to do this with xine using the dvdnav plugin, but it doesn't seem 
to change the way the keys are cracked, I still see the output list the 
titles one after another as it tries to crack them and it takes just as long 
as it used to, this is reguardless of what I set DVDCSS_METHOD to.
Also, I read something in the changelog for dvdcss about caching of the keys, 
is this caching only on a per session basis, or is it supposed to make it 
unessicary to crack the keys again next time you play the disc?

Wait: Did you know that there's a direct correlation between the decline of
Spirograph and the rise in gang activity?  Think about it.
