Description Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2006-11-21 00:06:56 UTC
Spec URL: http://rpm.greysector.net/extras/libdvdread.spec
SRPM URL: http://rpm.greysector.net/extras/libdvdread-0.9.7-1.src.rpm
Description:
libdvdread provides a simple foundation for reading DVD video disks.                                                    
It provides the functionality that is required to access many DVDs.

Note: it does not support encrypted DVDs (i.e. doesn't contain libdvdcss).

According to a discussion with Tom Callaway, it should be acceptable in Extras.

So it's completely useless.

Not quite. You can install libdvdcss from another repository and it'll work with
encrypted DVDs, too.

There is afaik software out there that can use libdvdread as provided here.
Maybe that software itself is not suitable for Extras -- but even if that's
really the case it's IMHO still a good idea to provide libdvdread in Extras.

gstreamer-plugins(-ugly?) can be built with libdvdread support. Also, there are
examples from Debian: lsdvd, dvdbackup.

Oops. Sorry. 
In this case it really valuable. )

I reviewed the code and saw that it loads libdvdcss.so.2 in our case.
