LinDVD is specifically for playing DVDs. None of the things you mentioned are relevant to this. The only freely available decoder for CSS (the encryption scheme used by DVD) is dvdcss. The use of dvdcss to watch encrypted commercial DVDs is illegal under the DMCA in the U.S. and the EUCD in the E.U.
Yep, it may be an ass, but it's the law.
Codeina isn't relevant to this, it does not handle DVD decryption, only providing licensed codecs for common video and audio formats.
