Hmm,

http://www.videolan.org/vls/ tells me:

-----------------------------------------------------------
Software required

The libdvdread is required to play DVDs (please do not use the official version 
if you want to play encrypted DVDs)
-----------------------------------------------------------

The "old hack" can still be downloaded from the verys same page page,
ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/videolan/libdvdread/libdvdread-0.9.2-videolan.tar.gz

To make things worse, the above tarball extracts as libdvdread-0.9.2, *not* 
libdvdread-0.9.2-videolan, so you are not aware, that you are using a hacked, 
"videolan" version. This happened to me, i installed libdvdread-0.9.2-videolan 
as i was told on your web page, and when i installed transcode several weeks 
later, i wondered why it didn't work!

Regards,

Heinrich
