<H2><A NAME="dvd">4.2 DVD playback</A></H2>
  
<P><B>MPlayer</B> uses <CODE>libdvdread</CODE> and <CODE>libdvdcss</CODE> for
  DVD decryption and playback. These two libraries are contained in the
  <CODE>libmpdvdkit2/</CODE> subdirectory of the <B>MPlayer</B> source tree, you
  do not have to install them separately. We opted for this solution because
  we had to fix a libdvdread bug, and apply a patch which adds
  <B>cracked CSS keys caching support</B> to libdvdcss. This results in a large
  speed increase because the keys do not have to be cracked every time before
  playing. The cracked keys are stored in the
  <CODE>~/.mplayer/DVDKeys</CODE> directory.</P>

<P><B>MPlayer</B> can also use system-wide <CODE>libdvdread</CODE> and
  <CODE>libdvdcss</CODE> libraries, but this solution is <B>not</B> recommended,
  as it can result in bugs, library incompatibilities, and slower speed.</P>

<P>Support for DVD navigation via <CODE>dvdnav</CODE> is being worked on, but
  not finished yet.</P>

<H4>Old-style DVD support - OPTIONAL</H4>

<P>Useful if you want to play encoded VOBs from hard disk. Compile and
  install <B>libcss</B> 0.0.1 (not newer) for this (If <B>MPlayer</B> fails to
  detect it, use the <CODE>-csslib /path/to/libcss.so</CODE> option).</P>

<P>For the complete list of available options, please read the man page.</P>
