ioctl_ReadCopyright problem in vlc 0.2.91

[David Legg]

Hi All,

I have just installed vlc 0.2.91 on my Dell Inspiron 7500 running SuSE 
Linux 7.0 (2.2.16 kernel) and got the output below, containing an error 
to do with 'ioctl_ReadCopyright' failing.

The DVD in the drive was 'The Mask of Zorro', region 2 encrypted. The 
drive was mounted on /dev/dvd -> /cdrom -> /dev/hdc with permissions 
'brw-rw-rw-   1 root'.

I managed to read the disk with Ogle, but Ogle (or perhaps my machine) 
is too slow, so I thought I would try vlc, because the write-up in 
LinuxFormat is good. Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,
David Legg
