<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: please _DO_NOT_ require further features for DVD playback.
This is the first version of some real DVD support inside <B>MPlayer</B> and
we're busy with hunting bugs and implementing basic DVD player features.</P>

<P><B>MPlayer</B> uses libdvdread which has got built in support for IFO parsing,
reading navi blocks and doing authentication/descrambling. libdvdread
use the good old libcss to the latter tasks. So you will need libcss and
libdvdread downloaded, compiled and installed BEFORE you run ./configure
script of <B>MPlayer</B> which will autodetect libdvdread for you in this way.</P>

<UL>  
<LI><P><B>Download source of libdvdread and libcss.</B></P>
  
<P><I>You can download them from
<A HREF="http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd">http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd</A>
(click 'download' in the menu at the left, and you can find libcss and
libdvdread in a table).</I></P></LI>

says something similar:<BR><CODE>Checking for DVDread support ... yes</CODE><BR>
(Of course you can put your favourite configure options into the command
line when you run ./configure). That's it! Say: <CODE>make</CODE>, then <CODE>make install</CODE>.</I></P></LI>
</UL>

<P>Of course after installing libcss and libdvdread you don't need recompile
them at each time when you want to recompile <B>MPlayer</B> (from a new CVS version
for example) since the needed packages have already been installed on your
machine.</P>
