Unlike most similar projects, libdvdcss doesn't require the region of your drive to be set. What's New in This Release: · This release supports DVD drive auto-detection and accepts "X:" as a device name on Windows. · Failure recovery has been greatly improved, and various minor bugs were fixed. · For developers, a new dvdcss_is_scrambled() function is provided, and the library now installs a standard .pc file.
