libdvdcss is a cross-platform library for transparent DVD device access with on the fly CSS decryption. It currently runs under Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, BeOS, Win98, Win2k and MacOS X. It is used for the vlc DVD player because of its portability and because, unlike similar libraries, it does not require your DVD drive to be region-locked.
