    If you already have the Restricted extras installed just open a terminal and enter

    Code:
    sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
    This will add the Ability to read encrypted DVD's.

    Alternatively you could by the Fluendo DVD player from the Software centre. However I would recommend using the Script

    Sorry but you going to give me a play by play. I know it's a pain, and I'm sorry if I'm being irritating. But it just won't work. Sometimes it takes me a while to understand. I thank you for your patience.

    Open a terminal and paste in the following commands.

    First thing, add the medibuntu repository. This is what has all the package info you will need for a great many multimedia programs and libs:
    Code:
    sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update
    Next, add the package-list to software center and enable bug report filing against the packages:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get --yes install app-install-data-medibuntu apport-hooks-medibuntu
    Finally we install libdvdcss2 (for newer dvd playback) and restricted extras (for older dvd's and any audio and video codecs you might need):
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 ubuntu-restricted-extras
    Now you should have full playback capabilities.

    well, I don't play DVDs on my computer. I tried the instructions nontheless. I can't play Click which is no biggie, but it means something ain't working right.

    Re: Will not play DVD's

    OK... Using a Sony VAIO VGC-LS20E

    It keeps failing with Windows Vista sooo...

    I installed Ubuntu 10.4.

    I performed all updates, twice... and the ran the driver updates for good measure with a restart.

    So now I have SIX DVDs (legal from different companies).

    When I insert any of them, I am prompted to choose an application. I chose Movie Player.

    Then all give the same message:

    "An error occurred"
    "Could not read from resource."

    So I quoted the error message and searched Google, the Ubuntu forums, and Sony's website (ZERO).

    Yes, I read this entire thread.

    I used the Synaptic Package Manager and installed ubuntu-restricted-extras and the VLC stuff.

    Restarted again... same results... same messages.

    So I started from scratch, reformatted the hard drive again, and installed Ubuntu 10.10.

    Repeated the entire process... same results... same messages.



    PS This system is used primarily by my neighbors 6 and 4 year-old girls. I am trying to be a good samaritan.
