Yes, because it uses a recently-discovered strategy to bypass RPC-II
region checks.

If you'd read this, you'd know that the region that the drive has set is
mismatched to the loaded disc - which probably means it has never been set
at all. Get http://www.linuxtv.org/download/dvd/dvd_disc_20000215.tar.gz,
and extract the source. Build, and use the 'regionset' tool to set the
region on your RPC-II drive to region 1. Don't forget you can only change
the region 5 times.

Hopefully soon the CSS plugins for Xine will incorporate the code from
VideoLAN to bypass the RPC-II region checks.
