15 I thought so as well ... but if you go throught the documentation in mplayer
16 and you have dvd specified .. it will use libdvdread and libdvdcss if its installed on your machine
17
18 and the ebuild does not have libdvdread or libdvdcss in the RDEPEND settings .. so if you run a stock box and USE="dvd"
19 and emerge mplayer you only get dvd-nav which does not work.

24 dvd support works fine ... but it's not enabled ..
25
26 to get mplayer to emerge with dvd support correctly you have to emerge libdvdread and libdvdcss manually ..
27 and then USE="dvd" and emerge mplayer.
28
29 As I pointed out in the original mail this is not recommended by the mplayer developers anyway and they suggest you use the internal libdvdread and libdvdcss libs they supply.
30
31 I'm more then happy to create a new ebuild with correct patching to make this work (I hacked a ebuild to get everything working on my system)
32 hence the suggestion to change the mplayer spacific libs to libmplaydvdread and libmplaydvdcss instead of the defaultsa so you can use both libs without
33 cuaseing problems.
34
35 I really do think think this is a good thing to have fixed as alot of guy I know are looking at mplayer for DVD playback and would not knwo that they need to
36 have libdvdread and libdvdcss installed before emerging mplayer
