Not without libdvdcss... without the decryption code, you'll be able to
play unencrypted DVDs (and there are a few out there); you'll still need
the CSS decryption to play the majority of discs. A convenient
side-effect of bypassing CSS is that it can bypass the region coding
system too, but that's not the main purpose.
