[SOLVED] Encrypted DVD won't play on VLC

I'm trying to play a DVD (Braveheart) with VLC and it isn't working. I've followed the wiki and installed all three packages for playing DVDs. I am using /dev/sr0. The dvd case says "This is a Region 1 disk designed to be compatible with Region 1 DVD players". Here is the output of VLC from terminal:

VLC media player 1.1.12 The Luggage (revision exported)
Blocked: call to unsetenv("DBUS_ACTIVATION_ADDRESS")
Blocked: call to unsetenv("DBUS_ACTIVATION_BUS_TYPE")
[0x76d120] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
Blocked: call to setlocale(6, "")
libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 4.1.3
libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable.
libdvdnav: DVD Title: BRAVHART
libdvdnav: DVD Serial Number: 28C95954
libdvdnav: DVD Title (Alternative): BRAVHART
libdvdnav: Unable to find map file '/home/dennis/.dvdnav/BRAVHART.map'
libdvdnav: DVD disk reports itself with Region mask 0x00fe0000. Regions: 1
Warning: call to srand(41870)
libdvdnav: Suspected RCE Region Protection!!!
libdvdnav: Suspected RCE Region Protection!!!
libdvdnav: Suspected RCE Region Protection!!!

what's going on?

It looks like you didn't install libdvdcss.
Or at least that's pretty much the exact output vlc gave me the other day when i tried to play a dvd without it
