I encountered a similar problem with VLC when Dapper came out. Libdvdcss
cannot be activated automatically from Ubuntu for a number of reasons.
You have to install it via a script using libdvdread3:
1. Make sure you have libdvdread3 installed.
2. Execute /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh
Hope that helps,
Carlo

Noe I can watch some DVD's must not all. It is common to get to see the
opening message from the production company (Paramount, BBC or what
ever) and them it just stops.
Sometimes Totem will give a message
"The source seems encrypted, and can't be read. Are you trying to play
an encrypted DVD without libdvdcss?"
I don't know the answer to this question.
How do I find out?
If I don't have it, how do I get it?
What is the significance of libdvdcss?
