Re: [solved] Cant play DVD's

could you perhaps tell us what it is that you did to fix it? i am having the same problem with dvd's. cd's play fine, but i can't seem to get dvd's to play. i have a similar output from dmesg as you.

I Installed libdvdcss, really should be a depency of mplayer.

No, libdvdcss should not be a dependency of mplayer.  In some countries, having libdvdcss on your computer is illegal.  Arch shouldn't force someone to do something illegal if they don't want to.
