The behavior of the library can be changed by setting two environment variables:

DVDCSS_METHOD={title|disc|key}: method for key decryption
- title: decrypted title key is guessed from the encrypted sectors of
- the stream. Thus it should work with a file as well as the
- DVD device. But it sometimes takes too much time to decrypt a title
- key and may even fail. With this method, the key is only checked
- at the beginning of each title, so it won't work if the key

- disc: the disc key is first cracked ; then all title keys can be
- decrypted instantly, which allows us to check them often,
- key: the same as "disc" if you don't have a file with player keys at
- compilation time. If you do, the decryption of the disc key will
- be faster with this method. It is the one that was used by libcss.
- This is the default method.

DVDCSS_VERBOSE={0|1|2}: libdvdcss verbosity
0: no error messages, no debug messages (this is the default)
