libdvdcss (or libdvdcss2 in some repositories) is a free and open-source software library for accessing DVDs encrypted with Content Scramble System (CSS). libdvdcss is part of the VideoLAN project and is used by VLC media player and other media player software, such as Ogle, xine-based players, and MPlayer.
==Usage== Libdvdcss alone is only a library and cannot play DVDs. DVD player applications, such as VLC media player, use this library to decrypt DVDs. Libdvdcss is optional in many open-source DVD players, but without it, only non-encrypted discs will play.
