Some Preliminaries:
I am running Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) on a Lenovo T61 that is equipped with a DVD player. I have installed the following packages:
libdvdread4
libdvdcss2
libxine1-ffmpeg
totem-xine
xine-ui
vlc
mplayer
regionset
The problem I am having is this: none of these players are able to read a commercial DVD. Totem complains about "can't read from resource", xine and vlc "can't read from file input", mplayer "can't handle stream from dvd://1". Most, if not all, of the solutions I've found online call for the installation of libdvdcss2 -- but that was the first thing I did -- and it still doesn't work!
Note that the opening FBI warning and a little intro clip do play, but that is it. Once I click to play from the menu (though it doesn't always reach the menu) it dies.
Any suggestions?
