The mythtv DVD player uses libdvdnav and the point of this thread is that 
libdvdnav apparently doesn't have problems with RipGuard because it is 
playing the DVD, not attempting to copy it. Don't actually know how true this 
is, I'm just accepting what Bradley has said on the subject.

If you have problems playing back DVDs with the internal player then you need 
to open a ticket.
