+# Goals and features
+
+**libdvdread** is a library for simple navigation of DVD (DVDs without menus).
+
+Written in C, cross-platform, it gives low-level access to DVD structures.
+
+It works well in conjunction with ***libdvdnav*** *(menus)* and ***libdvdcss*** *(cipher)*.
+
+## Where does it come from?
+
+This library is based on a lot of code and expertise from the **Ogle project**.
+**Ogle** was the first DVD player who implemented **free DVD navigation**. The
+**libdvdread** developers wish to express their gratitude to the Ogle people
+for all the valuable research work they have done.
+
+Initially, the dvdnav code was part of a plugin to the xine media player
+called xine-dvdnav. Later on, the DVD VM specific code was split
+from xine-dvdnav and went into the first version of libdvdnav.
+
+Then, it was forked, and forked again on MPlayer repositories.
+libdvdnav and libdvdread were merged, and then split again.
+
+## Where is it now?

+Libdvdnav is hosted [here](https://code.videolan.org/videolan/libdvdnav).

+All documentation is also accessible [here](http://dvdnav.mplayerhq.hu/#docs)
+
+## Deciphering disks
+
+**Libdvdread** does not do any decryption of the CSS algorithm. This task can be delegated to **libdvdcss**.
