Problem with DVDs 1 year 25 weeks ago

When I try to play video DVDs on Ubuntu 11.10 always get this error message: "Could not read DVD. This may be because the DVD is encrypted and a DVD decryption library is not installed." I tried to solve this with adding restricted-extras and libdvdcss2. But i still get this message. Any ideas to fix that?

DVD Playback Issues on Ubuntu 2 years 35 weeks ago

Hello all.

can't seem to download libdvdcss2 for my life, anyone have some way to allow me to play some darn encrypted dvds?

Hello I have researched websites with no success. I am attempting to install both the all-20110131.tar.bz2 to play Multimedia and libdvdcss2 to rip dvd''s. I found a site for the all-20110131.tar.bz2 and performed the instructions below and now get a message that it needs MPEG2 plugins. What is this why so hard? I do want to learn and use Linux. For libdvdcss2 for ripping I could also use help.

I installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my desktop and Toshiba Satellite laptop. Then, I installed everything shown on the pages for Medibuntu on desktop and laptop.

Hi,

The title pretty much says it all.

When I try to play a DVD I get the error message "can not read from resource" I checked to see if I have the package libdvdcss2 installed and I do. So I don't understand why it won't work.

So if someone could help me please? I'm using Maveric btw and will provide any other info needed.

Thanks

I am trying to figure out what is happening. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on an external hard drive and tested it on two different machines for playing DVD. I use the same rented DVD from the neighbourhood video store.

I am currently trying to create a shell interface for mplayer2 specifically for DVD playback. The (apparently unsolvable) problem is that the audio has gaps at the chapter marks on some DVDs during playback in dvdnav:// mode, and I get "ac-tex damaged" messages that I don't get in dvd:// mode (MacPorts-mplayer1 in Mac OS X has the same problem).
