Bug #135

Updated by Daniel Curtis over 9 years ago

I was unable to read/play a DVD on Ubuntu despite have the extras and restricted packages. The disc would show up, however the contents were unable to be seen or played. This is a symptom of disc encryption, and can be fixed by installing @libdvdcss@. 

 * Install libdvdread4 @libdvdcss@: 
 <pre> 
 sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 
 </pre> 

 * Run the @install-css.sh@ script: 
 <pre> 
 sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh 
 </pre> 

 After the installation the DVD contents are now readable and playable.
