I haven't tried vlc yet.  What I have done is removed xine and everything 
related that I could find that came from livna and installed the freshrpms 
versions, so that everything matches.  I have ffmpeg-0.4.9-0.7.20061215.fc6 
and faad2-2.5-1.fc6 which I believe are the freshrpms versions.  
Unfortunately it has made no difference.  Xine still tells me

The source seems encrypted, and can't be read.
Your DVD is probably crypted.  According to your country laws, you can or 
can't install/use libdvdcss to be able to read this disc which you bought. 
(Media stream scrambled/encrypted)

Grrrr.....
