no problem. when i finish sending you this reply, i am starting to convert all my pc's back to windows xp and vista. I found just now that i am unable to play commercialy recorded cds also. whereas I cant fix the problem in linux, I need to go back to the windows system where the problem doesn't exist. linux is a wonderful program, but it is not simple enough for the everyday common user without any more knowledge than to simply put in a dvd or cd and push play. most pc users dont know about writing files and openig things in terminals. The experience was great but i need something i can use without having to ask for help each time. thanks . <-----Original Message-----> >From: Sandro Mani [[email protected]] >Sent: 12/31/2010 6:50:02 PM >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [Bug 696120] Re: when i try to play any of my purchased dvd's. >irecieve the message "could not read from source. > >See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs > >** Changed in: totem (Ubuntu) > Status: New => Invalid > >-- >You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber >of the bug. >https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/696120 > >Title: > when i try to play any of my purchased dvd's. i recieve the message "could not >read from source. > >Status in "totem" package in Ubuntu: > Invalid > >Bug description: > Binary package hint: totem > >i have not been able to play any dvd's since usaing ubuntu linux 10.10, or any >of the previous versions of ubuntu. when i palce a dvd iin the player and start >any of the installed dvd /movie players i get the same message and results. the >title will play and the fbi warniing will display. but when they are done the >movie closes and i get the warning unable to read from source.
