dvdcss can't open device

[Walter Logeman]

Hi,

I am in the process of setting up vlc.  I seem to be
almost there - I have the GUI come up and I can get it to play
the warning MPEG file about copyright. However that is about all
I can get.

I suspect it is not a vlc problem but more a setting up the DVD
device - a newbie situation I am afraid - and am working on that
- but it just might also be a vlc question.  I have the combo DVD
CW-RW drive set up as cdrom as scd0.

I have put some out put below and any advice appreciated.

Walter
