- Note, this is an unencrypted music DVD shown playing in this screenshot. Due to patent issues, there is currently no legal way to play encrypted DVDs on Linux. You can of course play the DVDs you have created yourself from your home movies or recorded off TV, since these are unencrypted. Currently all DVD players on Linux are free software and have not paid for the necessary license of this patented technology. If some company were to sell a desktop DVD player and pay a license for DVD decryption technology, then there may be a legal way in the future. Hence, Movitos does *not* support decryption of DVDs.
