Which was my disapointment, btw. Does anyone know the reason why VLC 
made such decision.

Recently I've made some tests with DVD on Totem Movie Player and I 
noticed that even with all the necessary codecs installed, Totem doesn't 
seem to interact pretty well with libdvdcss. And I thought I could live 
with Totem. Then I tried VLC, it handles DVD fine, has nice commands for 
controling playback, but because of the use of QT you can't access menus 
nor configure the software.

Is Totem under active development yet? I'd rather go for Totem because 
it is simple and it does its job smoothly, but this DVD thing is kinda 
anoying.

Cheers,

Edu.
