Some DVDs are encrypted to prevent pirates from copying the movie. While commercial players already include the required (proprietary and licensed) decryption software, for legal reasons Ubuntu can not include it. For this reason, you will need to download and install it separately.
Be wary of the fact that this library will bypass the DVD protection; installing it might be illegal. Please refer to <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs> for all the necessary instructions. As this is not a bug report, I'm marking this bug as Invalid.
