DVD doesn't want to play in Ubuntu

[pmatos]

Hi guys,

I have a live concert DVD which I wanted to rip to audio or even just to watch in my PC but it denies playing it. Even though I can play it pretty well on my PS3 or DVD Player.

If I try to rip it, I get:

Exiting... (End of file)

Is this some kind of piracy protection that is not allowing me my legally bought DVD??? Argh!

hii

Ubuntu contains a number of DVD backup applications (aka "DVD rippers"). To rip encrypted DVDs, you must install libdvdcss2 the same as you would to play encrypted DVDs (see Playing DVDs).
There are several different utilities targeted at ripping DVDs:

Thoggen (universe)

Rips DVDs and encodes them into Ogg files with Theora video and Vorbis audio.

AcidRip (multiverse)

Rips DVDs and encodes them.

k9copy (universe)

k9copy is a Qt based app that will make an exact copy of a DVD as an ISO file or as the normal DVD folder structure on the destination drive. It can also shrink and/or encode your DVDs to different formats such as AVI/MPEG-4, MPEG-2, Flash Video (FLV), Real Video and QuickTime.

For some reason after installing all Medibuntu stuff I still can't play it with mplayer but thoggen is able to encode it! Good! Thanks.

medibuntu provides the access to libdvdread, w32codecs and libdvdcss2, look for them in synaptic. I'm not sure but some of these may be part of the stock install, just look to see if they are installed, along with the ubuntu restricted extras. Also a excellent player with added codecs is vlc, I also use smplayer. The restricted extras would be xubuntu restricted extras or kubuntu restricted extras depending on the desktop your running, but they are basically cross compatible, but use the one for the desktop your using.
