Hi sorry i didn't get back to you , been busy.
I have finally got it to play DVD's by downloading ( took all night , dial up ) automatix2 , i was so happy, but there was a ton of error messages so i thought it wouldn't work , put it in anyway and presto ! it works , and with every up there is a down , i have so many programs downloaded on the system now, its acting up just like Windows .
Sometimes it will not shut down & the only thing i can do is hit the reset button .
Anyway i will mess around with it some more and see where i go with it .
While i'm tapping away , does anyone know if there is any good software out there which i can use to make DVD labels , i have CD circle but it looks very basic and have not gotten anywhere with it yet.
Thanks for the info Irv

Hi all,

I am still having this problem. I have installed everything that has been suggested and still no luck - plugins, libdvdcss, libdvdread3, gstreamer plugins. This is on Ubuntu ver. 6.10.

Thanks.

Hi , I have to ask , did you install Automatix2 ? cos that was the only thing that worked for me , and it worked great , i think the other problems i had were me messing around in frustrasion ( wrong spelling ) but for some reasom or another Ubuntu seemed unstable on my computer so i"m trying Suse 10.2 at the mo but it does not have the excelent package manager that Ubuntu has , like everything it takes time to get used to things.
Hope this may help, i know it drives you mad sometimes but when you get it right its worth every minute .

I ended up having to manually move over the libdvdcss from another Linux box I have. Not sure what happened the first time. Now my only issue is the audio is out of sync a bit when watching a DVD using totem. Maybe a codec issue?

Thanks,

It is better to just do:
Because it will uninstall totem-gstreamer before it installs totem-xine and it won't uninstall the other things that will just be installed again.
