How long did wait until giving up. As you can see, this is a 
copy-protected DVD and libdvdread is using libdvdcss (which fortunatly 
could be found on your system) to decode the scrambled data. This can 
take a _long_ while. Maybe just wait a minute or two longer. libdvdcss 
normaly prints out some status messages on regular basis to see that it 
is still alive.

Alternatively try a (selfmade) unencrypted DVD first.
