kaffeine for Debian
-------------------

The Gstreamer support is experimental and has been disabled.
Due to patents problems, the Lame Mp3 encoding plugin isn't available.

CSS issue
=========

CSS is sold by the DVD industry as a "copy protection", though it's more of a
"view protection" as it makes DVDs unviewable with unlicensed players. To play
these DVDs, a library is needed to decode them, libdvdcss. Due to possible
legal issues, Debian cannot distribute libdvdcss, but it is available on other
places on the internet. If it is legal in your country to use css, you can run

        /usr/share/doc/kaffeine/install-css.sh

at any time to download and install it.

Thanks to Mikael Hedin <micce@debian.org> for the script.

Region issue
============

With a brand new DVD drive, it is necessary to set (at least once) the
region/zone setting, allowing it to decrypt the DVD's sold in this geographical
zone. Be careful, hardware vendors often limit the number of such
modifications. You can use regionset utility to achieve this.
