I have looked on the websites and forums for information on this but it is not totally clear. I wish to use VLC player to play DVD's, however it has been flagged that there will be legal issues with a product that incorperates libdvdcss.
Is there an easy way of removing this function from the application?
From what i read recompilation without this library is the only certain way (not sure about what compiler would be required or the process of doing this - ANY HINTS WOULD BE APPRECIATED). Sorry you guessed it, i am a novice!!!
I am hoping that there is a simple solution to this rather to go to all that effort (business community would welcome this feature to be removed).
many thanks

Yes, remove all DVD plugins (libdvdread and libdvdnav ones).

Re: VLC PLAYER 1.0.5 - libdvdcss feature
many thanks however it appears that by deleting these file that you cannot play any dvds. it is purely the libdvdcss feature that i would like to remove (not required for the vast majority of dvds).
i hope this makes sense.

You cannot. We build libdvdcss inside.
