DVD movied and music player not working

[alessio1974]

Dear all,

It seems to me that Linux Mandriva 2009 powerpack does not recognise normal DVD. It does not play movies nor music.
I cannot sort this issue out.
Nonetheless, the programme seems to work fine. It seems to be a problem regarding DVD recognition or file extension and compatibility.
Can you help me out with this?

Thanks in advance

I never use mandriva But I think VLC player can solve ur problem. It can play almost everything. Run this command from terminal.

#uprmi.update -a
#urpmi libebml
#urpmi vlc

Have you installed libdvdcss? That is required to playback commercial DVDs.
