OK, tried and opened a VOB file in Kaffiene (Xine) and it tried to play.
Got the sound and a partial picture (some parts of the subjects but was
very blocky and pixelated. (because it is still encrypted?)
I have lidvdcss installed. I created the .iso using k3b. Not sure if k3b
picks up and uses libdvdcss though or just copies it bit for bit. I may
be wrong but the encryption is for "copy protection", right ?? and if
it gets copied to the HD with all of the files it should be good,
right ??

No, it copies the VOB files but they seem to be corrupted or
something.Question; what is the purpose of the BUP & IFO files. Must
have something to do with the way the movie plays,
I then burned the .iso file to a blank DVD and tried to play it from the
DVD drive. Got the message that the file appeared to be encrypted. ???
How come the original DVD could play, even though encrypted, and the
copy would not ?

Thanks Daniel, if you could elaborate a little more it would be
appreciated. Guess I will have to do a lot more googling than I
already have,
