With appropriate codecs, DVD movies can be played in gxine, Totem movie player and VLC. I personally prefer VLC as it simply works, without having to do much configuration. First, install the following library: This will install most of the codecs for multimedia (audio and video) playing. Next, you have to install “libdvdcss2” to watch encrypted DVD. The library package is not available in the Ubuntu repository, you have to use the “libdvdread3” installer script. This will retrieve and install the “libdvdcss2”. Install the xine library Install VLC Now you should be to watch DVD in your VLC player. If you want to use Totem Mplayer, you have to install “totem-xine” rather than using the default “totem-gstreamer”.
