Are you using libdvdcss-ogle? Unlike the one from videolan, this version
seems to use player keys and is generally a lot faster. You can find it
on the downloads page from ogle.

Even with this lib, the constant researching of keys is a big nuisance.
Is it libdvdread or dvdnav that's causing this? Is this something
libdvdread automatically does when you open a new title? Is there 
difference in behaviour between the various libdvdread 0.9.x versions?
(I seem to remember a version that didn't do this, but I might be
mistaken)

I'd appreciate hear from a dvdnav guru about this subject...
