I have just managed to get DVD”s to play in Ubuntu after a lot of googling and these tutorials (here and here).Here goes:
{.js name="code"}
sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/jaunty.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
``` {.js name=”code”} sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update
``` {.js name="code"}
sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2
``` {.js name=”code”} sudo apt-get install w32codecs
``` {.js name="code"}
sudo apt-get install libdvdread4
``` {.js name=”code”} sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
``` {.js name="code"}
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
Then run the following to set the region of the DVDs you wish to play.
sudo apt-get install regionset
sudo regionset
and change the region to the number you want (1-4)- Finally install MPlayer (the only player I could get DVDs to work with successfully).
Click:Applications ->Ubuntu Software CenterThen search for:GNOME mplayer
