Problem DVD's

[John Mark Walker]

One thing I forgot to mention - this DVD is a ripped copy on the hard
drive. I ripped it with "cat /dev/dvd > isofile"

Is there a list of DVD's that people have difficulty cracking? And is
there anything that can be done with them? I have libdvdcss 1.2.8 (from
livna - http://rpm.livna.org/), and I get the same error regardless of

I used the same computer and software to play other DVD's, and this is the
first time it's happened. Are there any alternatives? (Also, I just
downloaded the source for 1.2.8 and compiled it with the same result.
Then I got the latest CVS - same errors.)
The DVD in question is Shame -
