Playing DVDs in Ubuntu Gutsy
A blogger by the name of John Bradbury posted three excellent videos (1, 2, 3) showing his first experiences with Ubuntu. It was really wonderful to watch; lots of ‘WOW’s and pleasant surprises The only real problem he had was watching a DVD. When you pop it into the drive in Ubuntu, Totem (the default media player) gives a rather unhelpful error message:
An error occurred
Could not read from resource.
This is unfortunate enough. What’s worse though is that even if you have the decss library (which Ubuntu does not carry in its official repositories due to legal concerns in places like the US because of the hated DMCA…) that would normally allow Ubuntu to play DVDs through Totem (the default video player in Ubuntu), it does not seem to work properly in Gutsy (grr! bad bug!)
