Hi Robert:
You need to install Totem Xine:
#
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) & Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft)
*
Install the following packages to play most proprietary formats
using Totem and Rhythmbox, which both come with Ubuntu. See here for
this list on one line that can be used at the terminal
*
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
*
gstreamer0.10-pitfdll
*
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
*
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse
*
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
*
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse
Since the version of Totem that comes with Ubuntu does not yet
play DVDs, the list below also includes packages for the GXine and
Ogle players, which do. For playing encrypted DVDs, refer to DVD
section
*
gxine
*
libxine-main1
*
libxine-extracodecs
*
ogle
*
ogle-gui
*
w32codecs (Note: to enable w32codecs, see the w32codecs section)
Follow these instructions:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#dvd
to play the DVD's - the reinsertion is not that big a deal:
Excerpt:
... Note that Totem-gstreamer can only play a DVD automatically when
it is inserted into the DVD drive, but cannot navigate the DVD nor
play it by selecting Movie -> Play Disc 'DVD Name' or otherwise.
