    Re: DVD drive detected as CD only

    Hi all, I am experiencing identical symptoms with Ubuntu 9.10 running kernel 2.6.31-20-generic,
    with a HP DVD530i drive. For whatever reason, the scsi3-mmc driver is detecting the drive as supporting CDROM only. Any DVD placed in the drive is ignored as "no medium".

    I hope that this is still an active thread, as I've been unable to find a solution thus far.

    Cheers,
    Sam

    Thank you.

    Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for. Now I can put my Jane Austen DVDs on my Droid X.

    For commercial DVDs you need some extra packages, including libdvdcss2, which can't be distributed by Ubuntu for legal reasons.

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install libdvdread4
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
    You can get a number of commonly desired restricted packages, including libdvdread4, flash, and java, with
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
    libdvdcss2 is still separate, so after that again you would need to do
    Code:
    sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
