README for libdvdcss, a portable abstraction library for DVD decryption


Introduction
============

libdvdcss is part of the VideoLAN project, a full MPEG2 client/server
solution. The VideoLAN Client can also be used as a standalone program
to play MPEG2 streams from a hard disk or a DVD.


Building, Installing and Running libdvdcss
==========================================

See the INSTALL or INSTALL.libdvdcss file for this.


Troubleshooting
===============

A mailing-list has been set up for support and discussion about vlc and
libdvdcss. Its address is :

   <vlc@videolan.org>

To subscribe, send a mail to <listar@videolan.org> with the following
words in the mail body :

   subscribe vlc

To unsubscribe, do the same with the words :

   unsubscribe vlc


When reporting bugs, try to be as precise as possible (which OS, which
distribution, what plugins you were trying, and so on).


Resources
