Some movies have extra copy protection that the Linux players can't deal with.

Extract the main feature to a big VOB file and present it to Linux that way.

Bewitched and Casino Royale have various bits of extra copy protection

seemed to abandon this idea quickly after they adopted it.

This is one plus to old school DVD players not being designed for "upgrades".
