playing a dvd

Hi
Im trying to open a dvd and play it. I am trying a number of
programs 
but I cannot seem to get it to open my dvd.
I have tried totem, kmplayer and finally mplayer from
terminal.
$mplayer dvd://1
gives me:

libdvdread: Could not open device with libdvdcss.
libdvdread: Can't open /dev/acd0 for reading.
Couldn't open DVD device: /dev/acd0

This seems to have happened a few weeks ago, because i have
used 
kmplayer (on gnome) before and I had no problems playing
dvd's.
Could someone help me out?
Thanks
Eoghan

For playing DVD's try ogle. It's very fast, no stuttering
audio, etc.

OGLE is just fot DVD playing though.

Thanks
But I get the same error with ogle; with the addition of:
DVDSetDVDRoot:: Root not set

Any ideas?

Does your user have read permissions for /dev/acd0?

fkTP51 ~ $ls -l /dev/acd0 
crw-rw----  1 root  operator    0,  99 Apr 30 13:28
/dev/acd0

fkTP51 ~ $id
uid=1001(fk) gid=1001(fk) groups=1001(fk), 0(wheel),
5(operator), 201(privoxy)

To get these permissions I have: 

fkTP51 ~ $grep ^perm /etc/devfs.conf
perm    smb0    0660
perm    acd0    0660
perm    xpt0    0660
perm    pass0   0660

If your user isn't already part of the operator group you
could add him/her, or make /dev/acd0 world readable (0664).
