Can't play DVD's or even recognize them, but CD's works fine. I've tried serveral things but nothing seems to work, also I got "restricted extras", "medibuntu", "libdvd" and all that installed.

"sudo lshw -C disk" output

Thanks, but I have a question.. Why are you linking an article that tells me to install libdvdread4?

also I got "restricted extras", "medibuntu", "libdvd" and all that installed.
