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:
Next, add the package-list to software center and enable bug report filing against the packages: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
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 --yes install app-install-data-medibuntu apport-hooks-medibuntu
Now you should have full playback capabilities.Code:sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 ubuntu-restricted-extras

Great! be sure to mark the thread solved.
You know, in a way I actually like Vista...
It's what introduced me to Linux...

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.

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.
