Click Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal, a purple window should appear, run the following command (you can copy then edit paste in Terminal):
After you paste that in, press Enter. It'll prompt you for your password and install the necessary components.Code:gksudo apt-get install libdvdread4 && gksudo sh /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
After that's done, close down your media players open and test! =D

that seems to have improved the situation but now it asks me to install a plugin but when i click search for required plugin, the search returns no results. The plugin is called dvd source
Have you installed the: ubuntu-restricted-extras ? You can find it in Software Center. If not install that.

Yes
Look in Synaptic and make sure that libdvdcss2 and libdvdnav4 package are actually installed.

Hey Everyone,
I have the same problem with 2 fresh installations of Ubuntu 10.10. I have followed all your directions and made sure that libdvdnav4 and libdvdcss2 are installed, but I can't play any DVD's on my computers. I have always been able to play DVD's before with both of these computers. Can you please help with more suggestions than above?
Thanks,
