I saw both of your posts at once, so I hadn't made the first change. I did 
rename the file as you suggested and rebooted. I *DO* have libdvdcss2 
installed (I just check Adept to be sure). After the reboot, I tried to play 
the DVD again, and again got the message "This DVD is encrypted, ,,," again.
