Well I did install Automatix. I wonder if thats the prob. We never tested a movie DVD beforehand.

I am not longer getting DVD playback errors after setting the DVD region code using "regionset" in the terminal (you'll also have to install regionset before running it).
the problem is 64bit doesnt have a good (or working) libdvdcss2.
Go to the medibuntu wiki's page (google search).
add the repo, and update your libdvdcss2 (or install it) done!
Detailed How To Coming Soon!
sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 w64codecs
Also, be careful with regionset. There may be a limit to how many times you can change it before it sticks.
I'm having the same problem with my serval performance (serp4). I've gone through all the mediubuntu stuff, installed libdvdcss2 and w64codecs. I'm running totem-xine and get this error message when I try to play a dvd:
"The source seems encrypted, and can't be read. Are you trying to play an encrypted DVD without libdvdcss?"
Since this is a 64-bit problem, I'm assuming, unless someone tells me otherwise, should I expect a solution anytime soon? or will I never get to watch "Reign Over Me" on my laptop?
Thanks for any help I can get,

JUST INSTALL THIS: http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/f...ntu2_amd64.deb !!!
It's already installed. That's my problem. I've installed and reinstalled and reinstalled everything this forum and about a dozen others told me to and still nothing. Any other ideas?

If you have Automatix installed, that could well be playing into the problem. Historically, we've seen a number of codec related problems with automatix.
I'd try uninstalling it, and then trying Kevin's link above. Or this one (be sure to read the note on 64-bit...)...

Ok so I uninstalled the version of libdvdcss2 I originally had and installed the package kevin suggested. I tried to play a dvd and I got the same error. So then I followed the howto. It updated libdvdcss2 back to the one I originally had (from medibuntu repository) and I still get the error. Any other suggestions?
btw I have the medibuntu repository, libdvdcss2, w64codecs. Basically everything I'm suppose to need to play dvds. But I can't. oh and I don't have automatix either.
OK, Here is how I just got perfect DVD playback. This is on a fresh install of Hardy 64-bit, on a GazV5. Run these commands from a terminal.
Code:sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/ap/sources.list.d/medibuntu.listCode:sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get updateCode:sudo apt-get install vlc libdvdcss2 ubuntu-restricted-extras w64codecsCode:sudo apt-get install totem-xinechoose 2Code:sudo update-alternatives --config totem
