    Updates or Codecs for DVDs?

    I am unable to play a DVD on my laptop. I have a DVD burner; and I always get the same message(s).
    error reading from DVD or "an error occured: location not found"
    I am actually trying to rip a few clips from some dvds i just have not gotten that far yet.
    so what do i have to do to play the dvds?
    and is there anything more i will have to do to rip them.

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    You need to install the DVDCSS library package in order to read/rip most any commercial DVD.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
