So, the "Rip Video DVD" does not seem to be working.  I wouldn't be able to
definitively assign blame.

 [egreshko@meimei ~]$ rpm -q libdvdcss
libdvdcss-1.4.2-1.fc28.x86_64 

Is the current version I've installed.  But, I've not used that version to copy
DVDs.  I've used that function since I currently don't have a DVD to try.
I've asked to borrow one, but won't get it until (if they have one), until
tomorrow
everning.  Previously I've not had a problem.

When you posted about your installed libdvdcss you posted...

$ ll /usr/lib64/libdvd*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     18 Jan 29  2017 /usr/lib64/libdvdcss.so
albeit, it is of a slightly older vintage.

Which is a symbolic link only.  If that is the full output then it seems rather odd.

[egreshko@meimei ~]$ ll /usr/lib64/libdvd*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     18 Mar 24 23:30 /usr/lib64/libdvdcss.so.2 ->
libdvdcss.so.2.2.0
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root  37888 Mar 24 23:30 /usr/lib64/libdvdcss.so.2.2.0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     18 Jul 23 19:49 /usr/lib64/libdvdnav.so.4 ->
libdvdnav.so.4.2.0
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root  89880 Jul 23 19:49 /usr/lib64/libdvdnav.so.4.2.0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     19 Jul 23 17:21 /usr/lib64/libdvdread.so.4 ->
libdvdread.so.4.2.0
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 125768 Jul 23 17:21 /usr/lib64/libdvdread.so.4.2.0

Would be more like what one would expect.
